U.S. officials say the U.S. Naval Academy has removed nearly 400 books from its library after being told by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office to review and get rid of books that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

Americans are struggling regardless of party affiliation and this is what’s the priority? To intentionally further divide for means of control and manipulation. And we have got to stop falling for it
This is so f'ing wrong!! DEI is an important policy in all Western countries that have large immigrant populations. It teaches the value of all people. The POTUS & the Pentagon should never talk or act like this. They're trying to erase history in a country they claim to love and respect.
Hegseth, overseeing the DEI purge, demanded that all Winnie the Pooh books be removed from the Naval Academy due to “Pooh’s coloration and his occasional lack of subservience to Christopher Robin.”
Trying to control thought, esp. by fear, typically doesn’t work in the long run. We are naturally curious creatures (e.g. children doing things they’re told not to - just see why it’s “bad” to do it).
Learning will just go underground, but it won’t stop.
“THEY” say THAT IS INSANE!! The military are supposed to defend the US and the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic, especially against fascism, or do we have our country’s mixed up?
Our kids overseas, the military isn't able to get food to them (that they pay for, - meals), in one case where they are only 1 restaurant is approved for service members to eat in or buy food at, the US military told them to order food from Amazon because the military can't get them food 😡
The attack on DEI and democracy is rooted in the technocratic/ apartheid/Nazi idealogy from Trump's billionaire handlers known as the 'PayPal mafia' - Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks. (VIDEO)
The goal of kevin roberts is to destroy all progress and science and burn America to the ground. 2025 playbook going exactly as planned. He is a snake and a traitor funded by billionaire elites
I'm not saying this applies to you, but I see so many people use the word "embarrassed," but until we become more furious than embarrassed, nothing will change.
That’s fair—I’m actively making my “embarrassment” known to my representatives in Congress, stoking the fires of local resistance here in Tennessee, and also writing USNA over this bad decision. Other ideas? I’m listening!
Ideas? Remember to bring receipts. Call them out for specifics and use the point of law they are violating, like an infographic I used against my Rep. stating laws broken include seditious conspiracy, treason, and misprision of treason, with stating examples of how they were violated.
We often overestimate our reach in the virtual world. We need to go "viral" in the real world. Print out these transgressions and post them around town, get people to actually see what is happening.
What if they just… didn’t? What if all the libraries refused? Get video of repub stormtroopers coming in to do it themselves instead of just complying.
Imagine being so mentally and spiritually weak as to believe that officers of the United States Navy need to be protected from ideas. Hegseth should be ashamed of himself, and Princeton, his alma mater, should be ashamed of him.
They didn't get a test run, years to refine their plans & tactics & a smug, sensationalist media accomplice & then a population stupid enough to vote for a second round of Nazis then hand them total control of a tripartite government. American exceptionalism.
If the nation gave Hegseth what he is demanding, which is a military devoid of anyone who doesn’t fit the category of “white male”, we will see a catastrophic collapse of the US armed forces.
And we'll never know, never be able to find out, If that future naval tragedy could have been avoided if they had promoted the black/gay/female officer candidate who would have made the different decision.
There is nothing wrong with diversity. Diversity has been a major factor for the success of the United States. Everyone knows that, but MAGA refuses to acknowledge. MAGA fascists want everyone white, fat, stupid and unquestioning.
Were they replaced by books about philandering, drinking, and being unqualified for a job yet still rising to the SECDEF-level because you are a master of ass kissing the right people? That's the Un-DEI.
WTH 🤦🏼♀️ is wrong with this country???? I’m still pondering on the daily, what they are soooo afraid of?!? I just don’t get it… so called Christians being the least bit Christian at all and not accepting people for who they are
How long before they abandon computers? The fundamentals of computing come from a gay man (Alan Turing), and the concept of programming come from a woman (Adm. "Amazing" Grace Hopper).

Funding for the libraries removed.
Books scrapped.
Buildings sold.
This can happen anyway of course. Waste.
