U.S. officials say the U.S. Naval Academy has removed nearly 400 books from its library after being told by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office to review and get rid of books that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

Summary

The U.S. Naval Academy removed nearly 400 books from its library after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office ordered a review to eliminate materials promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

The purge is part of the Trump administration’s broader crackdown on DEI across federal agencies.

Officials began pulling books ahead of Hegseth’s unrelated visit Tuesday.

Confusion over DEI enforcement led to the mistaken removal of photos of Jewish female graduates, later restored.

      “i’m a competent heterosexual male! stop doing this, gay thoughts,” hegseth exclaimed as he opened the door to his cerakoted olive green cybertruck. “i got where i am through merit and i definitely enjoy having sex in my wife’s vagina, as well as those interns i… um… what was it my lawyer said to say? pleasured as a surprise, yes that was it”

      “straight men don’t have to work this hard to convince themselves they’re straight, pete”
