Secretary of the Army Terminates West Point Teaching Contract for Former Head of Censorship Agency CISA -- the Organization That Deplatformed and Censored Conservatives for Four Years Under Biden

The left is angry that the right is not giving them amnesty for their decades-long weaponization of government against their political opponents.

Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll has pulled the plug on an attempt by someone at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to hire Joe Biden's director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Jen Easterly, a retired Army colonel, a West Point graduate, and former head of CISA, was supposed to assume duties "as the Robert F. McDermott Distinguished Chair in the department of social sciences at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York."

In an announcement distributed via X, Secretary Driscoll stated that Easterly's appointment was not approved and ordered a total review of how it came to be.

[I]t isn't as if Easterly was some low-profile leftie being slipped into the USMA faculty. She was one of the named defendants in the government censorship scandal that led to the Murthy v. Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden). She was at ground zero when the government undertook its grotesquely misguided program of strong-arming social media companies into restricting conversations on vote fraud in the 2020 election and the COVID virus response.

Jen Easterly ran CISA and directed its multi-year, illegal censorship operation against conservative media, including me personally and @FDRLST, the news publication I run.

Why on earth is this woman being gifted a plum sinecure at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point after what she did to this country?

Who approved this appointment of a woman who clearly has zero regard for the Constitution and the First Amendment right to free speech and freedom of the press?

Laura Loomer also brought this censor to Trump's attention. CBS "News" believes its controversial to brand this censorship agency as having practiced "censorship."

Note the sneer-quotes:

Easterly was accused of "censorship" by Loomer for her work as CISA director during the Biden administration to counter disinformation after the 2020 election.

"We're not turning cadets into censorship activists. We're turning them into warriors and leaders," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said.
