Despite objections from Republican lawmakers, the U.S. Navy has reportedly decided against removing a controversial book from its approved reading list.
What are the details?
The Navy came under fire earlier this year upon revelations that some of the books included in its 2021 Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program had nothing to do with military history or strategy, but instead educated readers on cultural topics such as anti-racism and gender identity.
One book in particular, titled “How to Be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi, drew intense scrutiny for its characterization of America as a fundamentally racist country.
In a letter sent to Navy Admiral Michael Gilday requesting the removal of the book, Republican Rep. Jim Banks (Ind.), a Naval Reserve officer and ranking member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel, branded the book as “explicitly anti-American” and not fit to be included on the list.
But according to Fox News, Gilday is not budging. In a response letter sent from Gilday to Banks obtained by the news organization, the admiral said he included the book because “it evokes the author’s own personal journey in understanding barriers to true inclusion, the deep nuances of racism and racial inequalities,” and added he would like to see Navy sailors achieve the same level of “self-reflection.”
“While I do not endorse every viewpoint of the books on this reading list, I believe exposure to varied ideas improves the critical thinking skills of our sailors,” Gilday continued. “My commitment to them is to continue to listen, make sure their voice is heard, and make the Navy a shining example of an organization centered on respect, inclusive of all.”
Banks responded by telling Fox News in a statement that that Gilday’s letter “shows he is not serious.”
He added: “We face an existential foreign threat, and our military is desperate for serious leadership.”
What else?
Gilday reportedly mentioned in the letter that some of the books included on the list were recommendations from Task Force One Navy, a new progressive agency established within the military branch to “address the issues of racism, sexism and other destructive biases and their impact on naval readiness.”
The admiral clarified that he contacted the agency over the summer “to identify and remove racial barriers, improve inclusion efforts, create new opportunities for professional development and eliminate obstacles to enter the Navy.”
The Task Force made headlines recently after it released a report which included a pledge for sailors that sounded like it was produced by a woke college diversity officer rather than the U.S. military.

Racial barriers are real, not “social” constructs. We could call them natural constructs.
I wrote a self-help guide once, which I was convinced would become an international best-seller but it was, unfortunately, rejected by every publishing house I approached. To this day, I don’t really know why. My book was called, “Teach Yourself How To Read.”
You would have thought that it might have had some appeal within the wealthy illiterates market.
The only place in this world, where people are forced to like, dislike, love, hate, associate with, ignore, employ and dismiss is the western civilization. And the people targeted are whites.
Is testament to them not being racists, that this nonsense buys permitted to continue. Out of all the peoples on this earth, whites are, by far, the warmest, kindest, most giving, most charitable, forgiving, caring and compassionate. On the contrary, the jew, calling whites out as racists and supremacists are completely opposite of the above. A wicked, insidious people, the jews are the major force behind our destruction. Their silence and inability to form organizations to combat what’s going on, by fellow jews shows their complicity.
We have been warned, continuously, to not only not allow jews into our lands, but give them positions of power and influence. Our lives are now a living hell and it’s 100% due to this.
People are incapable of seeing that the jew is the deadly enemy of man. They are winning and yet people truly believe there is goodness in them.
There isn’t. From a very young age they’re taught to hate non Jews by their rabbi teachers. This is ingrained within them. They are taught to deceive and when they get older they become masters of their craft, so much so that they will deny the truth, with evidence right in front of them.
We have a choice – remove Jews from all positions of power and authority, along with their puppet shabbos goy or else you’re never getting out of this nightmare people.
I have a strong constitution but I won’t deny, I’m now getting sick, physically, because all of this is now beginning to affect me psychologically. You can only take so much. One year of home imprisonment, no socialising is beginning to take its toll.
The battle has to start soon.
If the US can be divided north from south and hate each other as in Billy Yankee and Johnny Rebel, and in Britain its dreadful class system leaves the privileged despising the poor and vice versa – all while the majority of these belligerents who hate each other are white – then hating any other races is a certainty.
