Drag Queen CEO of Problem-Riddled United Airlines to Speak at US Air Force Academy Symposium

The National Character and Leadership Symposium is an annual event held at the U.S. Air Force Academy, focused on preparing the next generation of leaders for “honorable living and effective leadership.”

The theme of the 2024 NCLS is “Valuing Human Conditions, Cultures, and Societies,” which, according to the USAFA website, explores “what it is to be human and what qualities good citizens and leaders should have.”

It’s interesting that the USAFA would include the CEO of United Airlines, Scott Kirby, as a speaker on that subject. Kirby has been making a lot of news lately — but none of it has been for “honorable living” or “effective leadership.”

A resurfaced 2021 interview in which Kirby is seen boasting about his company’s “diversity, equity and inclusion” agenda went viral on social media last month, according to Fox News.

In the video, Kirby said United had pledged that 50 percent of its pilot classes would be “women or people of color.”

Kirby went on to lament that only 19 percent of his pilots were women or minorities, although he patted himself on the back, stating that this rate was the “highest of any airline in the country.”

Michael Seifert, founder and CEO of PublicSquare, posted the clip on X with the caption, “United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby says they want ‘50%’ of their hires to be ‘women or people of color.’ He doesn’t care whether or not they can effectively fly an airplane – all that matters is race and gender.”

“DEI is going to get people killed,” he added.

A few days later, another video of Kirby surfaced, which did a lot to explain why the CEO of a major airline would risk hiring people based solely on their gender or race rather than choosing the best-qualified people for the job.

The video shared on X by Libs of TikTok showed the husband and father of seven performing a Lady Gaga number dressed in drag.

“This is Scott Kirby, the CEO of [United]. He’s a drag queen and has been incorporating drag into [United]. This video should tell you everything you need to know,” Libs of TikTok wrote.

Additionally, United is now being sued for “bullying” unvaccinated employees during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to LifeSite News.

According to the lawsuit, “Kirby even proposed requiring [unvaccinated] employees to walk around with special stickers on their badges broadcasting their vaccination status,” LifeSite reported.

Given all this, one wonders at the U.S. Air Force Academy’s reasoning in featuring Kirby, a 1989 USAFA graduate, as an example of either “character” or “leadership.”

Kirby’s bio on the NCLS website says that he “played a pivotal role in enabling United’s cultural transformation and executing the company’s strategic growth plan.”

If this is the “cultural transformation” the Air Force is hoping its young cadets go out into the world and achieve, this nation is looking at a long downward spiral.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
