That event also included anti-bias training. West Point has also created a Character Integration Advisory Group, aimed at integrating honor, respect and trust programs within the cadet corps.<\/p>\n<p>Cadets are also conducting a pilot program of cadet-led \u201ctree talks\u201d on social issues such as online conduct, sexual harassment and racial issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Far more at the source link below.<\/p>\n<p>While I never attended the USMA at West Point, we&#8217;ve discussed race relations in the military here before. I don&#8217;t know if any of our commenters here could point to any instances of racism they saw in their time in the service. In fact, most of us point to the military as the most color-blind place we ever experienced (at least for the last six decades or so). In the words of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, &#8220;You are all equally worthless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2020\/10\/16\/west-point-creates-advisory-group-an-honor-stand-down-cadet-led-talks-to-tackle-race-issues\/?utm_source=Sailthru&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Army%20DNR%2010.16.20&amp;utm_term=Editorial%20-%20Army%20-%20Daily%20News%20Roundup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Army Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff LPH 3 sent me this story.
