Pentagon boss Pete Hegseth faced yet another setback in his mission to rebrand the US military as a photogenic ‘warrior’ class following a lawsuit from school children.
The Defense Department was hit with the legal action after Hegseth ordered military schools to remove hundreds of books about race and sex due to their allegedly ‘woke‘ content.
Some of the banned books include Maya Angelou’s classic novel I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and State of Emergency with a foreword by Cardi B.
In a shock move, a federal judge said Hegseth’s order violated First Amendment rights following a lawsuit brought on behalf of pre-K to 11th grade students.

The Secretary of Defense had in April ordered the removal of as many as 600 books from military bases in his effort to rid the department of ′ woke ′ DEI practises.
