Pentagon orders military to pull books related to DEI and ‘gender ideology’
Another memo told military academies to ignore ‘race, ethnicity or sex’ in admissions, but athleticism can be considered
Military leaders and commanders at the Pentagon were ordered on Friday to go through their libraries and review all books that are related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the US military’s latest anti-DEI move.
Leaders were ordered to “promptly identify” materials that promote “divisive concepts and gender ideology [that] are incompatible with the department’s core mission”, according to a memo sent to leaders that was seen by the Associated Press. The department gave leaders until 21 May to remove the books.
