For the 2004 Virginia Military Institute Halloween party, cadets dressed as Nazis, fairies, KKK, the starving poor and guys with bullseyes on their asses.
Photos posted on a public message board show VMI cadets dressed for their 2004 Halloween party as Nazis, fairies, a starving Ethiopian, the KKK and a man with a bullseye on his ass.
Similar pictures in the U.K. have recently caused an uproar. Will these in America? It's doubtful, but one should no less condemn VMI's ability to laugh at the deaths of millions, make light of famine and race and mock homosexuality. These are, after all, the men who are supposed to one day graduate to their own posts at Gitmos and Abu Ghraibs around the world.
To contact VMI with your thoughts, Contact Col. Susan H. Barr, VMI Chief Information officer. She has supervion over "training and investigations," which administers "civility" policies:

Keep in mind that VMI is a publicly funded school. So all this fun comes with a price tag to American tax-payers. Gee, thanks.
Hey, wait a minute. Doesn't that make these clowns at VMI poor?
VMI, a public college, admitted blacks in 1968 and women in 1997, but the school continues to be dominated by white men who are overwhelmingly Christian. Fewer than 10 percent of the students are women, and fewer than 20 percent are black. Only a handful are Jewish."
