Thanks for highlighting one of the triggers of the attacks aimed at VMI from the Spanberger Democrats: VMI pushed back on DEI. VMI broke the Democrat rules! and now there's hell to pay. All this retribution with no consideration of turmoil recklessly cast around upstanding focused cadets currently enrolled.

Please keep writing about this. What are other reasons some of these legislators hold VMI in such contempt?

Nice analysis of how institutional preservation battles actually unfold. The Barton Commission resurrection is telling bc it shows how old bureaucratic frameworks get weaponized for new ideological ends. I saw something simialr at my state university where an ancient accreditatiom threat was suddenly dusted off when leadership shifted politically.
