Anti-affirmative action group drops lawsuits against West Point and Air Force Academy after policy changes

Months after President Donald Trump ordered the nation’s military academies to scrap policies that allowed admissions officials to consider race, an anti-affirmative action group this week dropped a pair of lawsuits against West Point and the Air Force Academy.

Students for Fair Admissions threw out the two lawsuits after reaching an agreement with the administration that said the new admissions policy changes will be “permanent” and that the elite military academies must notify it of any changes to the schools’ policies so that the group can mount new legal challenges.

Attorney General Pam Bondi welcomed the resolution to the two lawsuits, saying in a statement Tuesday that her department “is committed to eliminating DEI practices throughout the federal government.”

The decision by SFFA to drop the cases follows a similar move that it made in a case it brought against the Naval Academy over that school’s admissions policies.

so if you are a person of color or a female (of any color), and your senator is a repuke, consider yourself shit out of luck.

That is the usual outcome for anyone trying to challenge either the oligarchs or the federal government.

They just maneuver until your money runs out.

What justice!
