Do you believe that these West Point first classman are violating the UCMJ by making a political statement while in uniform?
-A member of the Armed Forces on active duty may:
4.1.1.3. Join a partisan or nonpartisan political club and attend its meetings when NOT in uniform, subject to the restrictions of subparagraph 4.1.2.4. (See DoD Instruction 1334.1 (Reference (c).)

If you want to be an activist, do it all day, but in uniform? On a military academy, in front of the barracks?
There is a reason the Military needs to stay impartial with political movements and Social Justice Warrior campaign. If for some reason you don't understand this reason, many here have highlighted the regulations detailing the reasons. Imagine if the military supported political or the like, movements... Just think about that for a second.
These folks are UNFIT FOR LEADERSHIP in our military.
SHOW THEM THE GATE.
Social media is the new 'Blue Falcon'. Someone will talk if any impropriety has occurred. So IF it is as implied or accused, yes some ear pulling must be initiated.
