The writing was on the wall for race activists in the military last summer… there was a good chance the Dems would get bounced and Trump would be back in office. That spelled trouble for the entire DEI project.
Unless they could dress it up as something else.
On August 24th, West Point announced that the DEI offices at West Point would be given a brand new name.
The West Point Office of “Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunity” is now called the “Office of Engagement and Retention”.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
It’s a slightly positive sign the military and service academies are getting the heat from the public about DEI being toxic and causing division, while Congress works to remove the salaries of DEI officers in DOD.
But what do these offices do to get around this? Change their names and titles. Case in point: “We sneakily changed their title so it doesn’t sound as diversity-oriented, even though it is.”– Armed Forces Press
As evidenced by reporting in the article, nothing else seemed to change besides the name. So Judicial Watch looked into it. When West Point failed to respond to FOIA requests, Judicial Watch filed suit for the release of that information.
Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense for information regarding the rebranding of West Point’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) office to “Office of Engagement and Retention” (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Defense (No. 1:24-cv-02941)).
The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the United States Military Academy at West Point (a component of the Defense Department) failed to respond to an August 28, 2024, FOIA request for:
All documents related to the renaming of and/or elimination of West Point’s “Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunity” (ODIEO).
All documents related to the creation of West Point’s “Office of Engagement and Retention.”
All emails related to the matters addressed in Bullets 1 and 2 sent to and from the following USMA officials: Superintendent LTG Steve Gilland, Dean BG Shane Reeves, Commandant BG R.J. Garcia, and Chief Diversity Officer Lisa Benitez. —Judicial Watch
Between DOGE and Pete Hegseth, we can be sure that this department — in whatever name it calls itself — will no longer be diverting cash from the primary priority of making the US armed forces into a maximally lethal fighting force.
Anything outside that scope is a distraction from what matters.
