Is This Racist?
“We’re dumbing down the Naval Academy,” Bruce Fleming, an academy English professor, told the Washington Post in response to the recent swearing in of the U.S. Naval Academy’s most racially diverse class ever. From its most diverse applicant pool, the number of African-American students grew from 6 to 10 percent, and Latino students from 10 to 14 percent. Fleming also complained that “We’re dumbing down the officer corps.”
