DoDEA orders removal of "gender ideology" books and curriculum from on-base schools

DoDEA, which runs schools for military dependents on installations worldwide, announced removal of "books potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics" from its school libraries and classrooms, implementing EO 14168 and the K-12 "radical indoctrination" order. Flagged titles reached well beyond transgender-specific content. The American Library Association and the American Association of School Librarians publicly condemned the censorship; litigation over the removals followed (see sections 5 and 10; terminology mandates in section 12).
