Should this mid's federal case be dismissed?

A midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy is suing to block his dismissal. Ultimately, the Secretary of the Navy must approve such a dismissal. The case raises the usual issues of exhaustion, immunity, and compliance with legal procedures, but with a novel twist based on President Donald J. Trump's Sept. 22, 2020 executive order on combating race and sex stereotyping. The Capital Gazette's Heather Mongilio has the story here. Federal District Judge Ellen Hollander will hear the case today.
