US Navy Removes Woke Books In Updated Reading List
The U.S. Navy removed three controversial books on racism from its Professional Reading Program list, according to a May 6 press release from the Chief of Naval Operations.
Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Mike Gilday released an updated list of the Navy’s reading list, which excludes three controversial titles included in the 2021 reading list. CNO’s 2021 version included titles such as Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to Be an Antiracist,” Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow,’ and Jason Pierceon’s “Sexual Minorities and Politics.”

“A learning mindset is essential to accelerating our warfighting advantage,” Gilday said of the updated program. “A Navy that learns, adapts, and improves the fastest will be the most successful. Knowledge sharing is essential to creating a learning culture.”
Examples of books on the list include, “To Rule the Waves” by Bruce Jones, “A Brief Guide to Maritime Strategy” by James Holmes and “China as a 21st Century Naval Power” by Michael A. McDevitt.
Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks tweeted that he felt “encouraged” after the CNO removed “anti-American” books from its reading list.
“I’m encouraged to have learned that anti-American radical Ibram X. Kendi’s [critical race theory] manifesto ‘How to Be An Antiracist’ has been removed from the Navy’s reading list,” Banks said.
