The Virginia Military Institute, alma mater of the great George Patton, tragically succumbed to the Long March Through the Institutions. A Moonbat of Color has been put in charge of subverting it to serve the leftist racial agenda. But an attempt is underway to restore the USA’s oldest public senior military college.

The New York Post reports:

Cedric Wins, 60, launched diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives after taking the helm of VMI in October 2020.

He laid out a five-goal plan for “Inclusive Excellence” by citing the mission to “achieve and maintain a more diverse and inclusive student body, faculty, staff, and administration.”

“Inclusive excellence” is a classically Orwellian oxymoron. The point is to sacrifice excellence to “inclusivity” — i.e., the exclusion of the core population of white male heterosexuals in accordance with cultural Marxism.

Wins’ classmates of 1985 are not ready to give the school up as lost:

Ex-Marine Matt Daniel, 60, a fellow “brother rat,” as VMI classmates are known, founded a political action committee dubbed “Spirit of VMI” to fight the 183-year-old school’s new progressive efforts.

The group is shining light on the lucrative scam that is exclusionary “inclusion”:

Spirit of VMI has questioned why the school’s Board of Visitors awarded Wins a $100,000 bonus on top of his annual salary of $656,000 — despite a 25 percent drop in enrollment.

Wins has in the past denounced Daniel as being “racist.” No doubt Daniel will be clubbed with the accusation again for trying to prevent his school from being flushed down the toilet.

Success is hardly assured, but a Marine doesn’t stop fighting a war that isn’t over. Neither should any of us.
