At Pete Hegseth’s directive, books on the Holocaust, histories of feminism, civil rights and racism, and Maya Angelou’s famous autobiography, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” were among the nearly 400 volumes removed from the U.S. Naval Academy’s library this week www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

MAGA - Morons Are Governing America. Ignorance is not bliss, it is ignorance. It seems his masculinity is somehow threatened by this literature. #resist

Banning books on the Holocaust=denying it ever happened. He is a Nazi.

How does that work exactly? Did SecDef provide a list of books? Did he examine the library catalog for certain books? Can anyone get the list?

What they intend to do, for those who haven’t figured it out, is turn the esteemed military academies into MAGA training grounds.

According to Trumpworld, the students and faculty are such weaklings that they have to be protected from any literature or history other than that from the far right. Where is the Rumpian version of the Little Red Book? Wait. Maybe some of Trump's own books even if he didn't write a word of any?

If you serve the country the Regime will white wash history for your kids. We are Borg. You will be assimilated.

Well, Pete Hegseth is tattooed as a white nationalist. This is the biggest agenda of Trump and co.: erase history, erase people of color, purge anyone who is the “other”

A nation that bans books will fail. A banned book is a book worth reading.
