Controversies over alleged racist views

On March 7, 2007, John Sharpe was temporarily relieved of duty pending a Navy inquiry into allegations that he was involved in supremacist activities [ [http://www.navytimes.com/news/2007/03/ntpaorelieved070309/ Carrier PAO relieved pending investigation - Navy News, opinions, editorials, news from Iraq, photos, reports - Navy Times ] ]

In 2008, the Catholic University of America canceled a lecture series in which Sharpe was to speak after the Southern Poverty Law Center claimed Sharpe is anti-Semitic, though no review of his written opinion had occurred.
