"Officials of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point have launched an investigation after 16 African-American women cadets posed with raised fists for a graduation photo. The West Point cadets are now in hot water with some critics saying the photo is a violation of the long tradition and strict rule at the U.S. Military Academy that prohibits any kind of political statement in uniform. The pose has been used by the Black Lives Matter organization and Beyonce during her Super Bowl performance."
