Pentagon directs military to pull library books that address diversity, anti-racism, gender issues; Associated Press (AP), May 9, 2025

  LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press (AP); Pentagon directs military to pull library books that address diversity, anti-racism, gender issues

"The Pentagon has ordered all military leaders and commands to pull and review all of their library books that address diversity, anti-racism or gender issues by May 21, according to a memo issued to the force on Friday.

It is the broadest and most detailed directive so far on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s campaign to rid the military of diversity and equity programs, policies and instructional materials. And it follows similar efforts to remove hundreds of books from the libraries at the military academies."
