The White House says it fired the nation’s first black Librarian of Congress because she acquired books that were DEI-related and not child friendly, but her job literally mandates collecting a copy of each copyrighted book. The Pentagon continued its censorship efforts by demanding that military libraries remove books about diversity, equity, and inclusion by May 21.
