Those that felt micro-aggressed shouldn’t fly planes or handle weapons.
A top official at the Air Force Academy apologized for “microaggressions” that appeared in a school-wide email on haircut standards amid backlash to a reference to NBA great Michael Jordan.
Cadets received the email on Wednesday from Master Sgt. Zachary Parish commenting on haircuts that did not meet the Academy’s standards and cast a “negative impression” on the “cadet population and armed service members at large.”
Parish went on draw a comparison to Jordan.
“He was never seen with a gaudy chain around his neck, his pants below his waistline, or with a backwards baseball hat on during public appearances,” the email read.
A number of cadets saw the sergeant’s reference as a derogatory dig at African-Americans, stirring controversy on campus in Colorado, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.
