The determination of Donald Trump and his white-wing MAGA movement to erase any and all evidence of America’s rich medley of humanity and culture has been a key component of its mission from its inception. To describe it as merely racist would be far too inadequate to accurately convey its noxious intent.<\/p>\n

In the two months since Trump’s reoccupation of the White House, he and his Klan have sought to undermine democracy, cancel the Constitution, and foment hatred and division among the American people, always casting themselves as the victims.<\/p>\n

High on their list of purely putrid priorities is their campaign against DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs, whether in government or private enterprise. Because the worst thing that the Trump cult can imagine is a country that honors its diverse population, where all are treated equally, and who can be included in the benefits that a free society provides.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the Trump regime has been working overtime to eliminate DEI programs from every government agency, while simultaneously bullying private companies into dropping their programs.<\/p>\n

Among the preposterous results of this barrage of bigotry was the deletion of a web page<\/a><\/strong> about baseball great and veteran, Jackie Robinson, from the Defense Department website. And then there was the scrapping of info about the plane<\/a><\/strong> that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima because its name was “Enola Gay.”<\/em> Many other examples exist of atrocious cancelations of notable Americans<\/a><\/strong> simply because their gender, their religion, or the color of their skin offended the Trumpists.<\/p>\n

The latest victim of this censorious purge is the library of the United States Naval Academy. According to Navy spokesman Cmdr. Tim Hawkins, “Nearly 400 books were removed from Nimitz Library to comply with directives outlined in Executive Orders issued by the President.”<\/em> As reported by CBS News<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“Books on the Holocaust, histories of feminism, civil rights and racism, and Maya Angelou’s famous autobiography, ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,’ were among the nearly 400 volumes removed from the U.S. Naval Academy’s library this week after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office ordered the school to get rid of ones that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.” […]<\/p>\n

“Other books clearly deal with subjects that have been stridently targeted by the Trump administration, including gender identity, sexuality and transgender issues. A wide array of books on race and gender were targeted, dealing with such topics as African American women poets [and] historical books on racism, the Ku Klux Klan and the treatment of women, gender and race in art and literature.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is no justification for this brazenly fascist act of censorship and bigotry. It would be unthinkable for any business or government agency act this way. But it is particularly galling when an honorable institution like the U.S. Naval Academy is being forced to engage in such toxic, unconstitutional misbehavior.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this is what it has come to in Trump’s (per)version of America. They simply have zero tolerance for anyone who doesn’t look and act like them. So he orders his utterly unqualified secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, to cleanse the Academy’s library of materials that they find offensive.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, there is a repugnant irony in that Hegseth himself is a product of the rankest form of bias in the hiring of blind Trump loyalists with no experience whatsoever for the jobs they’ve been asked to do. What ever happened to merit-based recruiting?<\/p>\n

Apparently the Trump regime believes that America’s soldiers are too weak to handle an honest and complete accounting of American history. So they have to sanitize it of any references to heroes who don’t fit their pale-faced, Jesus-fearing, far-right GOP model of supremacy. And that’s supposed to make America great?<\/p>\n
