The superintendent of America’s Air Force Academy told hundreds of cadets Thursday to "get out" if they can’t treat other people with "dignity and respect," following an incident at the Academy's preparatory school in which racial slurs were found scrawled on dormitory message boards.
Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria gathered cadets and staff members to denounce the incident and speak about “the power of diversity,” according to a statement released by the Air Force.
“It’s the power that we come from all walks of life, that we come from all parts of this country, that we come from all races, that we come from all backgrounds, gender, all make-up, all upbringing,” he said. “The power of that diversity comes together and makes us that much more powerful.”
