Audit military academy courses and end tenure for their professors
What the document says“Audit the course offerings at military academies to remove Marxist indoctrination, eliminate tenure for academic professionals”
The chapter asks for an audit of what is taught at the military academies, the removal of what it calls Marxist indoctrination, the end of tenure for academic staff, and for instructors to be governed by the same rules that apply to other Department of Defense contracting personnel.
What the document actually says“Audit the course offerings at military academies to remove Marxist indoctrination, eliminate tenure for academic professionals”
Check what is taught at the military schools. Take out the parts the book objects to. End job-for-life status for the teachers.
Officers are trained at special schools. The book wants each course looked at. It wants some parts taken out. It also wants teachers there to lose their job for life.
Restoring America's Fighting Force
2025-01-27 · 90 FR 8763
Section 6(c) directs the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security to review the leadership, curriculum and instructors of the United States Service Academies and other defense academic institutions, and requires those institutions to teach that America and its founding documents remain the most powerful force for good in human history. That is the audit of course offerings the chapter asks for, conducted against the order's own definition of divisive concepts rather than the chapter's terms. The rest of the proposal is untouched: the order says nothing about ending tenure for academic staff and nothing about placing instructors under the rules that govern other Department of Defense contracting personnel. Executive Order 14190, the candidate closest by title, reaches only K-12 schooling and never mentions the academies.
The order calls for a review of the armed forces schools. It covers who leads them, what they teach, and who teaches it. That is the audit the chapter wanted, but by the order's own test. The order says nothing about ending tenure for staff.

Each of these names the order above in its own summary, preamble or filing. That is a fact about the document, not a finding that it carries out this proposal: it is one step further away than the order is, and what it does about the proposal is a reading nobody has made here.
