Climate Cult Teachers Sues West Point Over Firing

West Point did not need a disciple of the cult of climastrology indoctrinating the cadets

West Point professor fired after pushing back on limitations to teaching climate change, lawsuit says

A civilian geography professor was fired from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., for pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

Adam Kalkstein, a climate scientist who spent 17 years teaching future Army officers, said he consistently received “outstanding” appraisals of his work. When leadership last year imposed a ban on teaching that humans contribute to climate change, he tried to comply but ultimately pushed back, saying that it was a disservice to the cadets’ education.

“It’s not a college-level course. It’s not even a high school course. Not because it isn’t rigorous; it is. But because we’re leaving out essential information,” Kalkstein said during a November 2025 meeting of the geography department with Brig. Gen. Shane Reeves, then the dean of the academic board, according to the lawsuit.

So, it’s not even a high school course? What is it, then? Cult dogma? He also doesn’t get to set the terms of what he can teach as an employee.

“We’re only telling cadets part of the story. We’re lying to them, deceiving them. It would be like trying to teach the law without being able to even mention the Constitution,” Kalkstein said.

That doesn’t sound cultish in the least. They’re there to become officers and gentleman/women in the United States Army, to learn to be leaders. Not be members of a cult. But, we all know that the cult will try and indoctrinate people wherever they can.

Then came the November meeting, where he voiced his concerns about lying to cadets by omitting information from their climatology course.

The dean responded to Kalkstein by reminding him that Trump, as commander in chief, sets the agenda for West Point. The meeting ended with the dean storming out, according to the lawsuit.

At the end of the spring semester, Kalkstein learned his contract would not be renewed. The justification was “poor character and temperament,” with the November meeting cited as evidence.

If he wants to run for president he can set the terms of what is taught at West Point.
