The Colorado Springs Gazette wrote a short article<\/a> on the US Air Force Academy’s Superintendent, LtGen Michelle Johnson, in which she looked back on the last two years of her leadership of USAFA:<\/p>\n

In her first days on the job at the Air Force Academy, Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson found herself justifying the school’s existence amid a Pentagon budget crunch and a looming government shutdown.<\/p>\n

Two years later, she says those first frantic weeks have formed the foundation of a revitalization of the 61-year-old university Johnson leads.<\/p>\n

“It’s a crucible experience,” Johnson said. “We used it to focus on what’s really important for the Air Force.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Most notable is the Gazette’s complete lack of mention of any word related to “religion.” For a few years it was difficult to discuss USAFA without at least mentioning Michael “Mikey” Weinstein’s criticisms of the religious environment there.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, USAFA fended off most of those attacks, and Weinstein’s “legacy” has faded so far\u00a0it doesn’t even warrant a background mention in an article covering two years at USAFA — even though Weinstein says USAFA under Johnson is characterized by “fundamentalist Christian fascism and totalitarian oppression and tyranny.”<\/p>\n
