COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

The U.S. Naval Academy removed 381 books from its library shelves in response to President Donald Trump's executive order banning diversity, equity and inclusion materials and policies in federal facilities. It shows the extent of military stupidity under Biden.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered the Naval Academy to review its titles listings and remove books that promote DEI, U.S. officials told the Navy Times. Academy officials identified nearly 900 books for review and afterward compiled a llst of 381 books that it removed. Among the titles removed are, "How to be an antiracist" by Ibram X. Kendi, "Uncomfortable conversations with a black man" by Emmanuel Acho and "Why didn't we riot?: a Black man in Trumpland" by Issac J. Bailey.
The Naval Academy removed the 381 books in advance of a visit that Hegseth made. Hegseth's order required the Defense Department to remove all "new articles, photos and videos promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, including content related to critical race theory, gender ideology and identity-based programs," Military.com reported.
Trump's executive order against DEI in the federal government did not apply to the U.S. military academies, but Hegseth ordered them to comply with the order following new reports saying DEI books remained on military academies' library shelves.
