Pete Hegseth says West Point professor who resigned over Trump admin education overhaul ‘will not be missed'
A West Point professor's resignation over education shifts brought, in part, by the Trump administration, drew a scathing comment from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. West Point philosophy professor Graham Parsons announced his resignation Thursday, following a 13-year tenure with the academy. Hegseth quickly took to social media, voicing his opinion after the departure. Advertisement 'You will not be missed Professor Parsons,' Hegseth wrote in response to Parsons' resignation. In a New York Times op-ed, Parson said he is departing as the academy is rapidly shifting from its educational principles, in part due to the Trump administration. 'I will be resigning after this semester from my tenured position at West Point after 13 years on the faculty,' said Parsons. 'I cannot tolerate these changes, which prevent me from doing my job responsibly. I am ashamed to be associated with the academy in its current form.' 4 West Point philosophy professor Graham Parsons announced his resignation.

AP He added: 'In a matter of days, the United States Military Academy at West Point abandoned its core principles. Once a school that strove to give cadets the broad-based, critical-minded, nonpartisan education they need for careers as Army officers, it was suddenly eliminating courses, modifying syllabuses and censoring arguments to comport with the ideological tastes of the Trump administration.' Parsons' disdain correlates to President Donald Trump and Hegseth's recent executive order and memos prohibiting what faculty members may teach at United States military educational institutions. 4 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth speaks during a meeting with Peru Foreign Affairs Minister Elmer Schialer at the Pentagon on May 5, 2025.

Upon his departure from the academy, his landing page on the West Point website was removed.

How many sitting presidents have attended the Super Bowl with Donald Trump going?
Christian D'Andrea USA TODAY Sports Hear this story Super Bowl security is already a mess -- an arduous process designed to keep everyone safe for one of the highest profile annual events in American history. Well, good news for anyone hoping to watch Super Bowl 59 in person in New Orleans: now they may have to deal with a dense layer of Secret Service agents on top of it. President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to attend Sunday's game, a move that would make him the second-most famous person in the suites of the Superdome behind Taylor Swift. If he decides to take a break from levying, then pausing, tariffs in order to secure commitments foreign governments had already made months earlier, it would be an unprecedented move from the Commander in Chief. No sitting president has ever attended a Super Bowl. Vice presidents have, including Mike Pence -- Trump's former second-in-command who was left off the ticket in 2024. But while presidents are often guests at the Army-Navy Game each December, Trump would be the first to watch the big game in person. More NFL! Which NFL cities have hosted the most Super Bowls?
