Share this article

From the Washington Free Beacon:

The Virginia Military Institute, the first state-sponsored military college in the country founded in 1839, offers a “stress busters” program to provide students with yoga classes to “unwind and relax.”

…The school also posts flyers on health in bathroom stalls.

“VMI once took America’s youth and prepared them for duty and the harsh realities of war,” a VMI alumnus and veteran told the Washington Free Beacon. “Now, for $20k a year, VMI will turn your teenagers back into children.”

Following publication of this article, VMI removed references to the “stress busting” program from its website.
