Under review means pulled from the shelves until a decision is made, which is a ban until further notice. Pen American is a free speech organization that is tracking this and I am a journalist.
deep down, jd's a hillbilly. his inner being is convinced of it, and it shows to anyone paying attention. given how prone he is to delusion, that inner being has convinced him of his hillbilly-ness, despite the facts. to his tribe on the right, there's no difference. ergo, he's a hillbilly.
That’s EXACTLY right!
But he’s one of those pricks (like McConnell) who benefited from generosity that they are now denying others.
Cause they got theirs, screw the rest of us!
I remember when the lying liberal media was calling JD a “working class hero.” Now the richest man on Earth has my personal information and Vance is actively defending Elon's shenanigans. I'm so done with the NYT shit-libs.
There's no such thing as "liberal" media. Get your facts straight. It's just a line the lying conservatives and magaturds use when they want to discredit anything halfway reasonable that could benefit the people of this country.
Hard to believe you're anonymous?
We started to watch the movie, before we realized who it was about but, couldn’t finish it. It was a shitty movie and the fact that the book is banned is priceless!
The Hillbilly Elegy media empire is an insult to all Ohioans. It was created for Vance’s coastal elite friends who snub their noses at “flyover” America.
Librarians at Dept of Defense-run schools have not been given a list of titles to remove, but "directed to pull books “potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics”. List to be submitted by 3 March, 2025.

SIGN your strike card! SHARE IT ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA! We need 11 million to make this work! We can do it! We MUST save our country from the ruthless wannabe dictators! If we don't fight like hell, we may not have a country anymore! Sound familiar? Cripple the crooked!!
I deleted it from my library collection. No one ever borrowed it, so I tossed it to make room for real authors. It makes a wonderful door stop when the bible is holding up the window.
i don't understand these books banned by DoD? Does the DoD have a book club they are regulating right now? Are woke book clubs where all the money they can't account for went?
You're so close.
Destroying "anti-American" books because of the ideas in them IS defense. Defense of white supremacy, defense of the rich, defense of the status quo.
We are approaching the point where no one is allowed to think differently without being threatened with death.
FYI, JD Vance’s “Hillbilly Elegy” isn’t permanently banned by the DoD—it’s just under a temporary compliance review for content guidelines. Check out PEN America and Task & Purpose for more info. #facts
👀The book “Hillbilly Elegy” by JD Vance was not permanently banned by the Department of Defense.
This review is part of a broader effort at DoD-run schools to ensure that materials meet certain guidelines regarding topics like gender identity and equity, rather than a definitive ban😂
I tend to think it all stems from when his mom tried to sell him for pills, among other things. He's taking out all his trauma on us instead of getting therapy.
I worked with a population that would make his story sound like a decent life. So many of us have stories of struggle, hardship, and communal suffering...most do not choose to forget where, and who we came from. He is a two-faced poster boy for grandpa Satan.
I know what happened. Trump MAGA junta found out the word HillBilly comes for the root of Jibarau. Which is old Spanish for country folk. And since it's used by Puerto Ricans he wants the wire hillbilly banned.. well they still going to listen to country music. 😁 Yippy kiyay we will save a copy.
I bet you people were reassuring themselves that the ship was 'unsinkable' and this was normal as they watched water reach their windows. This is where large portions of America are.... 😗😅
It's not banned. The DOD Education Activity has removed the book from Middle and High School libraries on military bases pending review.
The action affects no one who is actually in DoD, either in uniform or a civilian unless they work for DODEA.
Yes, DoD operates a K-12 school system.
I'm confused as to what you think PEN means when they say banned by the DoD if not what you've described exactly right here. Banning books for any kids, even deeply harmful, stupid books like this one, is part of what PEN monitors and fights. I think they know that the DoD operates schools.
It's *under review* so *might* be banned from schools. OTOH, it might end up on the shelves
I worked as an Administrative Technologist for the schools at Spangdahlem AFB for a couple of years. IME, the DoDEA librarians are good folks and are likely quite upset by this.

DoD is much more than just the K-12 schools. Banned for DoD would mean it's banned for the rank and file as well as DoD civilians. DoD operates libraries for troops and gives books to deployed members. Those activities would be affected by a ban.

When books like 1984 and Animal Farm started being banned, I deleted my Kindle and Audible accounts and started buying physical copies of everything. This ban... I agree with 🤣 The only reason I would buy this one is to use as firewood when we can no longer afford utilities 🤷♀️💩

It’s the only book that’s better than the Art of the deal
God has good jokes sometimes
I couldn’t even imagine such a thing!

I am working on buying books from Velshi's banned books list. But definitely not buying this one 😀
The movie: "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" bad
But yes...ironic indeed
if you want real hillbillies study Blair Mountain and Athens TN
