Woke Removal

No more woke reading material:
The memo, issued by Timothy Dill, the acting defense undersecretary for personnel, pulls no punches. It acknowledges what many conservatives have argued for years: that “educational materials at the libraries promoting divisive concepts and gender ideology are incompatible with the Department’s core mission.” That mission is simple: to defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic—not to serve as a social engineering laboratory or a platform for ideological indoctrination. Critics are already decrying the effort as censorship or claiming that important historical materials are being swept up in the review. But the facts—and the intent—speak for themselves. This is not about suppressing history or eliminating diverse perspectives. It is about removing a creeping political agenda that seeks to fragment service members along lines of race, gender, and identity rather than forge a cohesive fighting force. The list of search terms provided—“affirmative action,” “anti-racism,” “critical race theory,” “gender identity,” and more—represents a clear-eyed effort to root out the radical ideologies that have increasingly infiltrated the ranks under the banner of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI). These are not neutral or benign educational materials; they are often vehicles for an ideological worldview that undermines merit, erodes morale, and encourages division.
Kind of the opposite of what should be read...
