posted on December 7, 2012

At Yahoo, Michael Hill reports that a cadet at West Point has decided to drop out less than six months before graduation, saying that he could not participate in a culture promoting prayers and disrespecting nonreligious cadets. Hill writes that Page “denounced ‘criminals’ in the military who violate the oaths they swore to defend the constitution.” Page said, “I don’t want to be a part of West Point knowing that the leadership here is OK with just shrugging off and shirking off respect and good order and discipline and obeying the law and defending the Constitution and doing their job.”
