The U.S. Naval Academy released the list of nearly 400 pieces of literature removed from its library that explored themes of white supremacy, race and racism in America, gender identity and sexuality and diversity.

The book removals follow executive orders from the Trump administration.

Titles from prominent Black politicians Stacey Abrams and Bakari Sellers, literary luminary Maya Angelou, activists Ibram X. Kendi and Tamika D. Mallory and a host of historians and academicians were among the removed books.

Kendi’s National Book Award-winning, New York Times best-selling “How to be an Antiracist” topped the list. Fiction novels, such as Mohsin Hamid’s “The Last White Man” and Angie Thomas’ “The Hate U Give,” which also became a popular film with the same title, were also eliminated from the library’s collection.

to the military institutions he was too chickenshit and weak to participate in.

3. DO NOT JOIN THE MILITARY

If you are a minority. Don't serve where you are not acknowledged.
