United States Military Academy at West Point philosophy professor Graham Parsons has resigned after 13 years, citing significant changes in the academy’s educational principles. He no longer aligns himself with the institution, claiming it has strayed from its foundational values and limits academic freedom. Parsons expressed concern regarding recent policies that have altered curriculum by eliminating courses and modifying syllabuses to fit specific ideological viewpoints.
Parson claimed the changes have made it impossible for him to fulfill his responsibilities as an educator, leading to his decision to resign at the semester’s end. Parsons said, “I cannot tolerate these changes, which prevent me from doing my job responsibly. I am ashamed to be associated with the academy in its current form.”
Parsons added, “In a matter of days, the United States Military Academy at West Point abandoned its core principles. Once a school that strove to give cadets the broad-based, critical-minded, nonpartisan education they need for careers as Army officers, it was suddenly eliminating courses, modifying syllabuses and censoring arguments to comport with the ideological tastes of the Trump administration.”
