"It was recently announced the U.S. Military Academy at West Point would remove the "Duty, Honor, Country" motto from its mission statement.

Republicans, conservatives, and people of faith rightfully erupted in dismay over this latest move to the "woke" by the famed institution.

Rachel Campos-Duffy, co-host of "Fox & Friends Weekend," observed: "West Point announcing they’ve gone full globalist." To be sure, millions of Americans agree with her, including thousands who graduated from there.
