I may not recall this correctly but my understanding is that the USAFA got in trouble a while back for pushing Christianity a little too heavy. Turns out majority of senior staff where Conservative Evangelical or Mainstream and the USAFA got a little off track with policy.

Memories a bit grey on this one, perhaps someone can confirm.

Anyway, I believe this was brought in a few years ago from memory, as a bit of a PC balancing act.

Are we surprised that the PC junkies try it out first at the Academies?
