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.”

They lost the book, “How to steer a ship”, though.
I am surprised they did this removal, and that they announced it.
Look at the list, it is overwhelmingly pap and human relations crap
I’m not. There is much dissension in the DOD now against Bidet!
Sadly, the military is immersed in wokeness.
My friend’s granddaughter graduates from West Point soon, and the stories she tells would curl your hair! She had points taken OFF an essay because her family is not mixed race, has no divorces, and is basically functional. It’s the “shtruggle” that moves you up the ladder.
They lost all the helmsmanship books along with all the “How to Scrape Rust, Prime and Paint a Ship” books.
Never mind the “Putting out fires on ships undergoing overhaul” book.
....many, many years ago in the last century, in the year 1958, before I even joined the U. S. Navy, I purchased from the United States Naval Institute a copy of “The Bluejackets Manual” and I still have it....what a different Navy we had then....!! the U.S. Navy then would not for a moment tolerate the crap that is going on now...then, we had about a 600-ship Navy; today, well, about a half of that or even fewer...? things have changed and not for the better.....(Suggestion....start learning conversational Mandarin.....)....
U.S.N./U.S.N.R. - 1961 - 1967
Not only did I miss that one so did nearly everyone else!
There are others like, “Don’t Get Your Shipmate Pregnant” and all of its corollary manuals.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
An enhanced version of dipping your pen into the company ink and screwing around with the enlisted people!
Meanwhile, anyone who read 'The Dilbert Principle' was way, way ahead of everyone in the room. Reading 'The Dilbert Future' and 'The Joy of Work' in addition put them miles ahead of everyone in the room.
It was comical to sit in a conference room full of career-desperate blue-suiters intensely blame-shifting and scapegoating after another bad idea failed spectacularly. Others were bewildered at how our unit was protected because we saw it coming.
"This was supposed to be the next greatest thing. You couldn't have known it was going to fail."
"Umm... yeah... we kept telling you but you just accused us of not being "team players". There's a chapter right here in 'The Dilbert Principle' that shows exactly what was going to happen."
That fat a(ss) Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Just imagine how many she would have had taken off if she were a white male!
I have a relative in the navy who is unvaccinated and they were in the process of giving them an honorable discharge in March. In April they suddenly say well it might be a while before we discharge you, in fact if you are willing to stay in will let you stay without the jab or you can separate.
Up until BiteMe he loved the navy but now he’s disgusted with their leftist policies and as a warrior and a conservative feels like he is a hunted man. So he told them he would prefer to separate with an honorable discharge. His enlistment is up in the summer of 2023 and I see them stringing him along until then. He has no respect or faith in the senior officers who have gone woke and knows people are going to die needlessly if they are committed to battle.
