US Naval Academy removes books on racism and Holocaust, Keeps Mein Kampf and The Bell Curve (1 Viewer)

[Juks]

The US Naval Academy Removes 381 Books from Its Library on Orders from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Among the removed works are books exploring themes such as racism, gender identity, and the Holocaust – still on the shelves are two copies of "Mein Kampf", reports The New York Times.

Among the titles are the modern classic "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou, which portrays her experiences of racism and trauma. Also removed are "How to Be an Antiracist" by Ibram X. Kendi, and "Memorializing the Holocaust", an analysis of female Holocaust victims written by Janet Jacobs. Still remaining on the library's shelves, however, are two copies of "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler, and "The Bell Curve", a book that argues Black people are less intelligent than white people, according to The New York Times.

According to Tim Hawkins, spokesperson for the Naval Academy, no book has been “completely banned.” Instead, they have been moved to a room that visitors do not have access to.

An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power.

And in Argentina, during the junta's Dirty War, people weren't disappeared. Instead, they couldn't be seen any more.

They are kinda proving the content of the banned books to be correct.

Is this a distinction without a difference?

...The Trump administration’s decision to order the banning of certain books from the U.S. Naval Academy’s library is a case study in ideological censorship, alumni and academics say.

Political appointees in the Department of the Navy’s leadership decided which books to remove. A look at the list showed that antiracists were targeted, laying bare the contradictions in the assault on so-called diversity, equity and inclusion policies.

“Initially, officials searched the Nimitz Library catalog, using keyword searches, to identify books that required further review,” Cmdr. Tim Hawkins, a Navy spokesman, said in a statement on Friday. “Approximately 900 books were identified during the preliminary search. Departmental officials then closely examined the preliminary list to determine which books required removal to comply with directives outlined in executive orders issued by the president.”

“This effort ultimately resulted in nearly 400 books being selected for removal from the Nimitz Library collection,” he added....

But every Midshipman who goes into that room can be seen.

And in Argentina, during the junta's Dirty War, people weren't disappeared. Instead, they couldn't be seen any more.

Great catch!

Yeah, those books are effectively gone from the Nimitz Library.

I don't believe that Nazism is offensive to all of Trump's supporters, although it may be to some. Some openly support it and white nationalism. Some carry flags with swastikas.

 

[NewfieMom]

I'd suggest trump and MAGA don't find Nazism offensive.

I posted this sentiment because I hadn't read down to your comment yet, @Pyrite. I should have known you would take care of this matter. Thank you.

Considering Pete Hegseth has a white supremacist tattoo on his chest, it's not that surprising.

Well, yes. It's hardly a secret that Hegseth is a ****ing Nazi ****.

In a court that statement would be kicked out. The left loves to believe that their opinions are facts. Fact is, they are BS.

 

[Craig234]

And it's not "DEI/Woke" they find as offensive as much as equality, justice, opposition to bigotry and white supremacy.

Okay.
