President Donald Trump is scheduled to be a speaker with graduates of the American Military Academy for this year on Saturday amid the administration’s campaign against diversity initiatives and removal of the main military leaders.
Trump and Defense Minister Beit Higseth called for major changes to military academies since he took office as part of the management programs in diversity, fairness and integration programs, and these changes can focus on the Trump speech center.
In February, shortly after Higseth confirmed by the Senate, West Point has replaced many student clubs, including the National Society of Black Engineers, the Association of Engineers for Women, the Latin Cultural Club and the original American Heritage Forum.

The changes were made “according to recent presidential executive orders, the direction of the Ministry of Defense, and the Army Guidance Department,” according to a note obtained by ABC News.
Also in February, Trump, who avoided his formulation during the Vietnam War, refused because of what Bon Tottenham, and refused to lead all military academies, claimed without evidence that schools “were hacked by left -wing ideologies.”
This winter, 381 books, many of which were written by black authors or discussed the history of racism, from the American Maritime Academy libraries due to an order issued in the Pentagon Memorandum.
The military services imposed on the memorandum were to provide and remove the titles of books from the libraries of their military educational institutions, which address the problems of diversity, race and sex using the defined research terms for the Pentagon.
All books were returned with the exception of 20 books that were initially removed this week, according to the school.
West Point teachers and other military personnel, Trump and Hegseth, were criticized by orders, by cultivating that such programs did not prevent values, training and education in academies.

“These were the rudeness of the indoctrination, not education,” Graham Parsons, Professor West Point books In the May 8 guest article in the New York Times.
“Everything you think about about different controversial ideas – Mr. Higseth’s note mentioned the critical and ideological theory of gender – students must deal with them and discuss their advantages instead of telling them that they are very dangerous so that they cannot think.”
