Books Mentioning Civil Rights Removed From Shelves at Fort Campbell, KY School [View all]
On 25 Sep 1957, paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division (the 'Screaming Eagles') escorted nine students of color into the all-white Central High School in Little Rock AK.
Clarksville Now is reporting that an elementary school at Fort Campbell, KY, home of the 101st Airborne Division, is removing books from its library in response to a Trumpf executive order. Clarksville Now reported it received a copy a letter sent to school administrators from the DoD Education Activity that lays out several directives to comply with the US President's order which includes banning the promotion of "monthly cultural observations."
The eagle should be screaming.
