    Is The Citadel a government entity or extension of one?

    Ironic commentary about the South's history is just too much for some people, I guess.

    IANAL, but I would think The Citadel has a little more leeway constitutionally on such things, seeing as how the institution exerts substantial control over what cadets do, wear and/or say in their time there.

    The Citadel is a lot like West Point ... in the 1960s.

    A state in which wrestlers from parts unknown can't legally don the mask is a state I don't want to be a part of.

    I suspect your direct experience with either institution is somewhere between nil and none.

    I do directly know that the USMA got way past the overt sexism and mindless hazing that still is a big part of The Citadel
    "experience" a long, long time ago. So there.
