Appalling and frightening scandal

  • 1.  Appalling and frightening scandal

    Posted 29 days ago

    Has anyone heard from the librarians at the Nimitz about this?

    Ron Filipkowski:

    … NYT reported that hundreds of books have been removed from the US Naval Academy library under the new DEI ban by SecDef Pete Hegseth. Books like Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' are still there, but 'Memorializing the Holocaust' about female victims of the Holocaust has been removed. 'The Bell Curve,' which argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people, is still there. But a critique of the book was pulled.
