Four of the 16 books listed under a section dedicated to personal and leadership development discuss topics such as anti-racism, the criminal justice system, and gender politics. Their titles include Ibram X. Kendi’s bestselling
How to Be an Antiracist,
The New Jim Crow,
Sexual Minorities and Politics, and
Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward. Kendi’s book in particular has garnered significant controversy, with many of its ideas spreading from college campuses to public health institutions and public sector unions.
As you may recall, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was recently questioned on such a thing.
