Army and Air Force libraries are ordered to review books for DEI material

Army and Air Force libraries have been directed to evaluate their collections for books related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) following a similar initiative at the U.S. Naval Academy, where nearly 400 books were removed. These orders, part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to eliminate DEI content from federal agencies, require that any books deemed to undermine meritocracy and unity be identified for potential removal. The reviews are to be completed promptly, with oversight from military leadership amid public scrutiny over previous removals, including significant historical works.
