ACLU attorneys submitted a lawsuit last week against the Department of Defense over purported book bans in their schools for the children of active duty military personnel.
Pentagon officials have removed books and altered curriculum that promotes “gender identity” or discusses “divisive equity ideology,” a move which the ACLU claimed was discriminatory. The organization said that “materials about slavery, Native American history, LGBTQ identities and history, and preventing sexual harassment and abuse” were among books banned for students.
