A reminder that Nancy Mace was a DEI admission. The courts ruled that The Citadel couldn't exclude women

I vaguely recall that Mace graduated from the Citadel but did not know the circumstances.


A reminder that Nancy Mace was a DEI admission.

The courts ruled that The Citadel couldn't exclude women from attending under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment (the one that Donald Trump wants to eliminate).

This says Faulker dropped out (no reason given).


Well @NancyMace you were the first women to graduate from The Citadel but that would not have happened had not Shannon Faulkner had been brave enough to take them The Citadel to court. So while you have done well you did standing on the shoulders of a shall we say a DEI pioneer.

Does Mace want to be the only woman to ever attend the Citadel? There’s obviously some deep insecurities here. Stockholm syndrome?
