On January 29, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on "Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling," which called for, among other things, cutting off federal funds to schools that commit ideological or identity-based indoctrination in "K-12 curriculum, instruction, programs, or activities." He also engaged in similar efforts to purge "woke agendas" from the military, and diversity, equity, & inclusion (DEI) initiatives across the federal government.

As part of that work, the Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) removed hundreds of books promoting "gender ideology" or "discriminatory equity ideology" from the 161 accredited schools it maintains across the world for the children of US service members.

"Surely, if defendants were concerned with pedagogical interests through book removals, they would be able to tender evidence of the age-level perspective they consider and detailed information on the specific pedagogical standards at issue," Giles wrote.

"Viewing public school libraries as places of academic freedom and intellectual pursuit conflicts with the United States' notion that school libraries represent government speech," the judge added. "Where other courts have declined to extend the government speech doctrine to the public library context, this court follows suit."

The ruling is not a final resolution of the First Amendment claim, only a determination that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in the judge's opinion.
