Opinion | Naval Academy Censors Ryan Holiday’s Lecture on Censorship

How a lecture to the U.S. Naval Academy on censorship was censored.

There were 381 #books that were removed from the US #NavalAcademy #Library last week as promoting #DEI

Quoting from the NBC news article: "Books on the Holocaust, histories of feminism, civil rights and racism, and Maya Angelou’s famous autobiography, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” were among the nearly 400 volumes removed from the U.S. Naval Academy’s library this week."

"In addition to Angelou’s award-winning tome, the list includes “Memorializing the Holocaust,” which deals with Holocaust memorials; “Half American,” about African Americans in World War II; “A Respectable Woman,” about the public roles of African American women in 19th century New York; and “Pursuing Trayvon Martin,” about the 2012 shooting of the Black 17-year-old in Florida that raised questions about racial profiling."

I have neither the brain nor the reading ability, but I feel like this entire list is something I would read if I could.

Zuerst verfolgen sie Pronomen, dann Schwangere, Trans-Menschen, tätowierte, braune, schwarze und kritische Menschen. Sie verbieten Wörter, Meinungen und Bücher - bis am Schluss nur noch Nazizeug wie "Mein Kampf" in der Bibliothek der Naval Academy (sic) übrig bleibt. #navalacademy #faschismus

1st annual space piracy conference will examine threats of orbital crime and smuggling

"While crime and piracy in space are at this point largely theoretical problems, our view is that now is the time to start thinking about the issue and discussing potential solutions."
