An excerpt:
[The men and women at the Naval Academy will go on to lead combat missions, to command aircraft carriers, to pilot nuclear-armed submarines and run enormous organizations. We will soon entrust them with incredible responsibilities and power. But we fear they’ll be hoodwinked or brainwashed by certain books?
Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” was not one of the books removed from the Naval Academy library, and as heinous as that book is, it should be accessible to scholars and students of history. However, this makes the removal of Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” inexplicable. Whatever one thinks of D.E.I., we are not talking about the writings of external enemies here, but in many cases, art, serious scholarship and legitimate criticism of America’s past. One of the removed books is about Black soldiers in World War II, another is about how women killed in the Holocaust are portrayed, another is a reimagining of Kafka called “The Last White Man.” No one at any public institution should have to fear losing their job for pushing back on such an obvious overreach, let alone those tasked with defending our freedom. Yet here we are.]
I loved the spokesperson saying USNA is an apolitical institution, yet removes books with political
Ideas it doesn’t like.
I’m sure they did it pre-emptively. Trying to assess “commander’s intent.”
Unforced, anticipatory capitulation is exactly what dictators want to see.
USNA removed many books from its library. All by Black people, gays & women
Maya Angelou is gone, for instance.
And obviously anyone who suggests that white people have ever done anything wrong.

Yet Mein Kampf is fine and dandy to stay. Tells you something.
