There is no reason to take any book from a Naval Academy library shelf, unless maybe it has porn or promotes extreme hate. Naval Academy students should be allowed to read about the Holocaust and Maya Angelou on there own time. Also, they should definitely learn about the Holocaust during classes. We fought a war mainly because of the Holocaust. Those students especially need to learn about the Holocaust. There is so much those students and others can learn from the Holocaust. This country might not be where it is now if more people had learned about the Holocaust.
