The same student activist group that won its affirmative action case against Harvard and the University of North Carolina has signaled that it may sue some of the biggest military academies in the country for racial discrimination. 

After Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) won a major victory Supreme Court victory in late June, the organization has announced it has a new target: elite military academies. 

"It is the hope of Students for Fair Admissions that the service academies will soon end the use of racial classifications and preferences in their admissions policies. Failure to do so, may result in polarizing litigation," the group wrote in a statement. 

"Were you rejected from West Point? Or the Naval Academy or the Air Force Academy? It may be because you’re the wrong race," the organization writes on its website, WestPointNotFair.org.
