Today, I wrote to @PeteHegseth urging him to authorize U.S. service academies like West Point to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) for admissions—just as they do the SAT. The @CLT_Exam is surging in popularity among students, parents, and teachers. Why? Because it champions rigor, logical thinking, and deep comprehension of classic texts like the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. The SAT, meanwhile, has ditched America’s founding documents due to their “extended length,” claiming they’re “not an essential prerequisite for college and career readiness.” That’s absurd—and exactly why students are turning to the CLT. In Florida alone, 120,000 students took the CLT in the 2023–2024 school year. Yet not a single one of them is eligible to apply to West Point or the Naval Academy. That must change—and under Secretary Hegseth's leadership, I believe it will. Accepting the CLT will ensure that the U.S. service academies are open to all intellectually capable and morally committed candidates eager to serve their nation.

A standing ovation for the great Warren Buffett by 40,000+ people here in the arena. That, my friends, is the greatest wealth one can accumulate over a lifetime - "heartfelt respect and admiration". #BRK2025 #CompoundingGoodwill
