Holocaust book, Maya Angelou's autobiography among nearly 400 items pulled from Naval Academy library in DEI purge

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Books on the Holocaust, histories of feminism, civil rights and racism, and Maya Angelou's famous autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," were among the nearly 400 volumes removed from the U.S. Naval Academy's library this week after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's office ordered the school to get rid of ones that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. The Navy late Friday provided the list of 381 books that have been taken out of its library.

The move marks another step in the Trump administration's far-reaching effort to purge so-called DEI content from federal agencies, including policies, programs, online and social media postings and curriculum at schools. In addition to Angelou's award-winning tome, the list includes "Memorializing the Holocaust," which deals with Holocaust memorials; "Half American," about African Americans in World War II; "A Respectable Woman," about the public roles of African American women in 19th century New York; and "Pursuing Trayvon Martin," about the 2012 shooting of the Black 17-year-old in Florida that raised questions about racial profiling.

Other books clearly deal with subjects that have been stridently targeted by the Trump administration, including gender identity, sexuality and transgender issues. A wide array of books on race and gender were targeted, dealing with such topics as African American women poets, entertainers who wore blackface and the treatment of women in Islamic countries. Also on the list were historical books on racism, the Ku Klux Klan and the treatment of women, gender and race in art and literature.’

The fascist Trump regime continues to pursue its racist, bigoted, hateful agenda.

And like all authoritarian fascist regimes, Trump’s effort to silence dissent and compel conformity, to deny diversity, inclusion, and expressions of individual liberty, will ultimately fail.

Why would any of that crap need to be in the Naval Academy library? They are there to study war, not social issues.

LOL

This is just more malicious compliance.

The warriors in training who are attending the Naval Academy are learning to become deadly killers leading companies of men to destroy the enemies of the USA in the US Navy and USMC.

They need to focus on their chosen trade, not read gay literature.

I'm sure there is a place in this world for books about Jimmy's three daddies taking it in each other keisters.

But it isn't at the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

While the main area of studies offered by the Naval Academy are focused on STEM studies, also offered are studies in history, political science, foreign area studies. Much like the care for our Vets, those in our service academies shouldn't be short-changed. These students deserve opportunity to prepare themselves for a post-military career by a well-rounded education. Maya Angelou's autobiography shouldn't be forced on midshipmen, but neither should it be denied because of politics.

Hegseth is a drunken pig and just wants others to be like him.

Might those "warriors" sometimes be in situations that dont include slaughter ? Maybe just once or twice ?

When they are off duty, sure.

But they can buy their own LGBTQ+ literature for those times.

They aren't at the Naval Academy at the taxpayers' expense to learn gaiety.

So not when they are in uniform then ? You have a limited world view.
