Letter: Citadel travesty mirrors America
The Citadel, like all military institutions, has a uniform policy for its cadets. It has had it for more than 150 years. It does not include a head scarf or burka (the next step?). I would suggest that the young lady who feels she needs to wear a head scarf, in defiance of the school’s uniform code, find another school.
This is just another orchestrated attack on America, its institutions, and who we are.
For eight years now, our esteemed president has been chipping away at our country and its institutions. A hapless Congress has stood by and let it happen. He has made it his business to push the Muslim cause, importing almost 700,000 of them from the Middle East and Africa.
Unfortunately, he has been very effective in what he set out to do as defined in his apology tour of 2009 ... undermining America and making sure we are no longer seen as the world’s superpower. What a tragedy.
