Congresswoman Nancy Mace's recent post about protecting women's accomplishments—where she used her graduation from a previously all-male military college as an example—has prompted critics to point out that her admission was made possible by "DEI."
Mace, the first woman to graduate from The Citadel in 1999, wrote on Monday that she "fought like hell" for her achievement. However, many were quick to remind her that her admission was only possible due to a legal battle fought by Shannon Faulker and a Supreme Court ruling mandating that The Citadel admit women under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
