This can't be true - I can't wait to hear the explanation behind this one if by chance it is true.

If true, when was the plaque put up and why wasn't it noticed until now?

According CNN it is TRUE -- here's what they write :
"The marker that includes the words Ku Klux Klan is a part of a larger piece of artwork, called a triptych, that appears at the entrance of Barrett Hall, the campus's Science building. The triptych "references the history of the United States as told in bronze relief," and has three panels, that are each 11 feet by 5 feet, the Academy's Public Affairs office said in a statement.
The part of the artwork that shows the Ku Klux Klan member is in a "small section" on the second panel titled "One Nation, Under God, Indivisible." The artwork, dedicated in 1965, was "originally dedicated to West Point graduates who served in World War II and Korea," the statement added.
According to the Academy's Public Affairs office, the triptych's late sculptor, Laura Gardin Fraser, "wanted to create art that depicted 'historical incidents or persons' that symbolized the principled events of that time, thereby documenting both tragedy and triumph in our nation's history."

SO THAT MAKES OK?????? It’s shouldn’t be up, where people can see it, no matter what it symbolize or a piece of artwork. This is truly a slap in the face, to all the black cadets in that college. It’s no justification of this, THATS WHY IT MADE THE NEWS. It needs to come down ASAP. I would go in to more reasons it should come down, but it’s not the time.
