A children's storytime event at a United States military base was canceled earlier this year due to a ban on diversity-related content, after a book about pioneering Jewish cyclist Annie Cohen Kopchovsky was flagged. The author, Mary Boone, revealed that the cancellation was prompted by concerns that the book focused on a woman, and potentially also because it highlighted Kopchovsky's Jewish and immigrant background. This incident is part of a broader trend of removing Jewish representation and diversity initiatives from military institutions following new directives from leadership. Despite the cancellation, Boone was able to share Kopchovsky's story at other venues, sparking public discussion and renewed interest in the cyclist's legacy.
