Several current and former midshipmen at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, told Fox News Digital that 'woke' ideology has been infiltrating the institution.
"Christ on the Water" in Wiley Hall at the USMMA was placed behind a curtain following a complaint from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
The Jesus painting situation is a symptom of woke-ism that is"absolutely" infiltrating the USMMA, said John Guettlein, a 2022 graduate of the academy who spoke to Fox News Digital from a fishing vesselGuettlein pinpointed the school's COVID-19 vaccine policies as the start of the trend, which he claimed drew pushback from many of the midshipmen when the school began cracking down on the unvaccinated in 2021.
"A lot of the freshmen, a lot of my friends, just straight-up left because they didn't want to get into a school that was threatening that. There was just no hope for them," Guettlein said, adding that he and other seniors were better able to withstand the vaccine mandate because they had already logged extensive time at sea and had"a lot more on the line.
"So, there were a lot of times when people were missing meals," Guettlein said."People had to order out and pay for their own food. As freshmen, you can't even order out technically, so it would be upperclassmen getting them food."A 2021 email obtained by Fox News Digital shows that former USMMA Superintendent Vice Adm. Joachim Buono said the dining hall policy"encourages unvaccinated midshipmen to become vaccinated.
