The Pentagon, under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, ordered a review of all military library books addressing racism and sexism. A memo deemed such books as promoting 'divisive concepts and gender ideology,' incompatible with the department's mission. All books deemed inappropriate must be identified by May 21st, with further instructions on permanent removal to follow. This action continues the Pentagon's ongoing effort to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
