Arrr matey! The U.S. Naval Academy be shufflin' their recruitin' rules, all per the orders of Captain Donald Trump! Aye, they be settin' sail on new waters of fairness, or so they claim! Hoist the anchor and let the admissions begin!
Arrr, me hearties! Gather 'round fer a tale of the high seas of bureaucracy! A court o' appeals in the grand U.S. of A. declared that the fine crew at the U.S. Naval Academy be banished from considerin' race, ethnicity, or gender in their quest fer new cadets, all followin' the orders of Cap'n Trump himself!On the fateful day of February 14, Vice Adm. Yvette Davids proclaimed, “Nay, we shan't be usin' those categories in our admissions, mateys!” This decree followed a January order from Trump that demanded the mighty Armed Forces sail free from preferences based on race or sex. A prior ruling had allowed the Academy to weigh race, but alas, the tides have turned!
Now, a group dubbed Students for Fair Admissions be raisin' a ruckus, callin' the affirmative action a scallywag move. Meanwhile, Rep. Sarah Elfreth be shoutin' from the crow's nest that this decision be disastrous for our naval might, declarin' that a crew reflectin' our great nation be the strongest crew of all!
As the Academy shuts down its diversity offices, the sea of policy be ever changin’. So, keep yer compass true, and don’t forget—navigatin' these treacherous waters of admissions be a matter of national security, savvy?
