Screenshot of text reading: "Department heads ordered reviews of syllabuses and then demanded changes. West Point scrapped two history courses (“Topics in Gender History” and “Race, Ethnicity, Nation”) and an English course (“Power and Difference”). The sociology major was dissolved and a Black history project at the history department was disbanded. Department leaders forced professors to remove from their courses works by James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and other women and men of color. One of my supervisors ordered professors to get rid of readings on white supremacy in Western ethical theory and feminist approaches to ethics in “Philosophy and Ethical Reasoning,” a course I direct that is required for all cadets. A West Point student debate team was even told that it couldn’t take certain positions at a forthcoming competition. And these are just some of the episodes I am aware of." The words "the sociology major was dissolved" is highlit in blue
