A recent directive from Army officials has mandated that Army libraries, including West Point, review their collections for books promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and critical race theory. Assistant Secretary Derrick Anderson's memo instructs libraries to flag these books, likely as a precursor to their removal. The directive echoes trends seen at the U.S. Naval Academy, where hundreds of similar titles were purged. While no books have been removed yet, the Army may continue to face scrutiny over these titles and their implications for military values like meritocracy.
The Army is directed to review library contents, erasing books that focus on DEI and critical race theory, compromising meritocracy and unity.
Acting Assistant Secretary Derrick Anderson ordered the removal of certain books, instructing all Army libraries to 'flag' titles promoting gender ideology and DEI.
