Cadets ran through a scenario that involved one cadet not accepting a preferred pronoun. Those conducting this training see it as a way to improve bystander intervention skills.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><b>From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The facilitator of the group is instructed to read the scenario:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s dinner at Grant, and the four cadets are sitting at a table. CDT Baker gets a phone call from a friend and takes the call. CDT Baker messes up the way he refers to his friend on the phone and it becomes apparent that the friend is identifying as gender neutral. CDT Adams and CDT Cruz start joking about it. CDT Acevedo squashes the joking and\/or tries to educate them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Specifically in the scene, Cadet Baker &#8220;must be on the phone and struggle with getting the pronouns right for the friend on the phone&#8221; and the &#8220;other characters crack jokes and start talking about the concept of pronouns.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The role-play comes to an end when either the &#8220;arguing gets heated and clearly nobody is going to change their mind;&#8221; one &#8220;of the Cadets storms off because they can&#8217;t handle the interaction;&#8221; or the &#8220;Cadets agree to change the subject, respect Baker&#8217;s opinion, and let it go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other role-play scenarios include &#8220;Friends in High Places&#8221; when dealing with someone receiving preferential treatment; &#8220;Dirty Money&#8221; when dealing with &#8220;sextortion&#8221; and helping a friend seek legal help; and &#8220;A Stinky Situation&#8221; for confronting &#8220;a peer about poor hygiene.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional information, and role-playing scenarios, at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/republicans-demand-answers-west-point-pronoun-play-acting-training-session\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of Republican representatives queried West Point about a topic covered during training reserved for &hellip; <a title=\"West Point cadets role play preferred pronoun scenario\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=139030\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">West Point cadets role play preferred pronoun scenario<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[359,84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-army","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=139030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139030\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=139030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=139030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=139030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
