West Point

In its June ruling outlawing affirmative action in college admissions, the U.S. Supreme Court excepted the nation's military academies. A new lawsuit seeks to change that.

Under a new Army program, West Point students are working with the Defense Department to address climate challenges that could affect national security.

The Defense Department is planning to eliminate Confederate names from bases and more than 1100 other things in the military. But it's not clear whether that will include an unusual display at West Point - a bronze depiction of a Ku Klux Klan member.

Congress ordered Confederate names and images to be removed from military installations. But what about portraits of Lee before he joined the Confederacy?

The scandal is the largest at West Point in 40 years, and it has raised questions about honor among the men and women who will become the Army's future leaders.
