Pentagon Bans Troops From Top Universities Citing “Wokeism”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Friday that the Pentagon is severing ties with select elite universities, barring active-duty troops from attending them for graduate education beginning next academic year. Hegseth cited concerns that these institutions have become “factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain,” allegedly indoctrinating service members with an “anti-American” ideology. This decision comes as part of a broader review of the military’s partnerships with higher education institutions to ensure they align with the mission of developing effective leaders and warfighters.
