381 books removed from the Naval Academy Library

• Trump has zeroed in on military academies as he's sought to root out "wokeness" in the armed forces, ordering the dismissal of Boards of Visitors and prompting clubs to be shuttered in compliance with DEI directives.

Driving the news: The hundreds of books removed from the Maryland library include Janet Jacobs' "Memorializing the Holocaust," which explores the representation of gender in Holocaust memorialization, and Stacey Abrams' "Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America."

• Books on gender identity, LGBTQ+ rights, white supremacy and workplace diversity were also among those expelled, according to the Navy's list.
• Cmdr. Tim Hawkins, a Navy spokesperson, told The New York Times last month that the academy "is fully committed to executing and implementing all directives outlined in executive orders issued by the president" and was at the time "reviewing the Nimitz Library collection to ensure compliance."

What they're saying: Officials initially searched the library catalog using "key word searches" in order to "identify books that required further review," Hawkins said in a statement provided to Axios.

• Approximately 900 books were identified, and after further examination, some 380+ books were removed "to comply with directives outlined in Executive Orders issued by the President," Hawkins said.
• The books were removed between March 31 and April 1 and were placed in a room where patrons can't access them.
