During a hearing Tuesday, the Republican representative took aim at Adm. Michael Gilday while asking why he\u2019s promoting a book that talks about \u201dexplicitly anti-American teachings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Banks asked the admiral why he thought it was so important to promote a book that calls the U.S. Navy \u201cracist.\u201d He added, \u201ccultural Marxism\u201d is dangerous and asserted that it has no place in the armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat part of this book is redeeming and qualifies as something that every United States navy sailor should read?\u201d asked the Indiana lawmaker. \u201cDo you expect that after sailor reads this book that says the United States Navy is racist that we will increase or decrease moral, cohesion and recruiting rates in the United States Navy?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepJimBanks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepJimBanks<\/a> for fighting the introduction of racist, Marxist and anti-American propaganda into the U.S. military.  <\/p>\n<p>If China was coming up with a recommended reading list for our service members, I am sure they too would eagerly include Kendi\u2019s hateful screed. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AHVRgPh6Oj\">https:\/\/t.co\/AHVRgPh6Oj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Stephen Miller (@StephenM) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StephenM\/status\/1404899075753926662?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Banks said far-left talking points would reduce the morale and preparedness of U.S. service members, in turn, damaging the nation\u2019s national security.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-mcconnell-democrat-calls-to-subpoena-fmr-attorneys-general-is-a-partisan-power-grab\/\">Sen.
