The war in Ukraine has turned into a lethal artillery duel and whichever side can produce the most ammunition for the big guns on the battlefield could have the edge in the conflict, U.S. officials and military analysts say. https://t.co/J0KO7zgXE1
Buff the KKK member off the plaque like Benedict Arnold in the Old Cadet Chapel. But a news article title like this is blatantly misrepresenting what the series of plaques is about. West Point by no means endorses the ideology of the KKK and it’s infuriating it’s implied they do.
I preface this by saying by all means take the plaque down. But this is a gross misrepresentation of what the plaque actually is. It’s a series of three bronze plaques representing American history through the Korean War memorializing the men and women who fought in WWII/Korea.
A Ku Klux Klan plaque is affixed to the entrance of the United States Military Academy's science center at West Point, a congressional commission has discovered. https://t.co/wZih4QuYTm
Other notable figures on the same plaque are freedom fighters/abolitionists like Dred Scott, Abraham Lincoln, and John Brown. I went to the school for 4 years and never noticed the KKK member. Nor did any of my classmates, and I doubt the highest levels of leadership knew it.
