Jerry Boykin is the kind of man you’d want teaching your sons – a good and decent man, an honorable man – a Christian man.
For the past nine years the retired lieutenant general has taught leadership and ethics at Hampden-Sydney College, a highly regarded, all-male school based in Virginia. By many accounts – he is beloved and deeply respected by students.
But Gen. Boykin will not be returning to the classroom this fall. That’s because he tells me he's been fired.
The man who was one of the original members of Delta Force and once commanded all of the U.S. Army’s Green Berets – the man who served his nation with honor and distinction for more than 36 years – was ousted because of political correctness.

ReplyDeleteThe college has changed their mind and will keep him.
Update....they rehired him.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that Hampden-Sydney was a school for Southern Gentlemen. I encouraged my son to attend. (Ultimately, he did not.) It is so disappointing to find out that this institution is merely another haven for liberal fanatics. SO SAD!
ReplyDeletewell if all the students decided to attend a different school next year I'm sure they would reconsider or go broke!
