BREAKING: West Point Announces That Islamophobic General Has Withdrawn From Prayer Breakfast
By Faiz Shakir on Jan 30, 2012 at 6:35 pm
Just four days after ThinkProgress reported that the United States military academy at West Point was planning to host an Islamophobic general as its featured speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast, that general has now pulled out the event. West Point just issued this news release:
LTG (Ret) William Boykin has decided to withdraw speaking at West Point’s National Prayer Breakfast on 8 February 2012. In fulfilling its commitment to the community, the United States Military Academy will feature another speaker for the event.
