| Slurs Perpetrator at USAF Academy Unknown - Everyone Queued up For Stern Diversity Lecture |
| 2017-10-01 |
| [ABC] The head of the Air Force Academy gathered 5,500 cadets, faculty, staff and cadet candidates Thursday to deliver a powerful message after racial slurs were found written on message boards at the academy’s preparatory school. "If you can’t treat someone with dignity and respect, then get out," Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria told the group at the culmination of a forceful five-minute lecture on the "power of diversity." Five black cadet candidates at the Academy’s Preparatory School woke up Monday morning to messages saying "go home" followed by an anti-black slur, according to a statement released by the academy. |

| #7 In fairness... Respectfully Mike, it was a group flogging. What shall he say if it is discovered to be a hoax. He will quite likely say absolutely nothing. |

| #2 Beso, In fairness, he did what any commanding officer MUST do in a situation like this. On one or two occasions during my military service, I had to listen to - and in one case, deliver - similar lectures. Having said that, I wish he had not been quite so public about it. Sadly, given recent history with this sort of thing, the USAFOSI investigators are certainly looking at the possibility that this was not what it appears to be, and had LTGEN Silveria given that brief to just the assembled prep school students (those involved are students at the USAF Academy Preparatory School, not the Academy proper) it would have had the same moral effect as well as filling in the square.
