Due to MRFF’s unceasing efforts to force the Air Force Academy to be inclusive of all religions, largely through widely publicizing its egregious disregard of non-Christian cadets, the iconic Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), the definitive global source of news and analysis on issues of Jewish interest and concern since 1917, has picked up the latest story of Jewish cadets being discriminated against and denied the equal opportunities enjoyed by their Christian counterparts.
This time it’s the Academy’s grossly exclusionary scheduling “Commandant’s Training Day,” also known as “Commandant’s Challenge,” on October 5, the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, excluding Jewish cadets from this important training day that JTA describes as “key to advancement within the academy.”
While the Air Force Academy claimed in a statement that “The Academy’s Academic Year Calendar is developed and maintained through an institutional process that includes input on faith considerations of the cadets,” their actions have made it abundantly clear that these are just empty words.
