DOD orders purge of all agency media promoting DEI

Assistant to the Defense Secretary Sean Parnell issued a memo released Thursday ordering the purging of all Department of Defense (DOD) media promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

The directive applies to all DOD websites and social media accounts while excluding content “required by law to be publicly available,” according to the memo dated Feb. 26. The move comes as President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continue their crusade against left-wing initiatives and policies in the DOD.

“By March 5, 2025, Components must take all practicable steps, consistent with records management requirements, to remove all DoD news and feature articles, photos, and videos that promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI),” the memo reads. “All articles, photos, and videos removed from DoD websites and social media platforms must be archived and retained in accordance with applicable records management policies.”

Organizations can apply for extensions or exceptions if they provide a “detailed justification” for their content by noon, March 5, according to the memo.

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
