'This will not stand': Air Force resumes teaching on first Black pilots after DEI review

Following swift backlash from legislators, retired military personnel, and others, the U.S. Air Force confirmed to USA TODAY Monday it will resume teaching its recruits about the first Black airmen in the nation’s military.

The move comes on the heels of the Air Force confirming Saturday that course instruction about the Tuskegee Airmen − the more than 15,000 Black pilots, mechanics and cooks in the segregated Army of World War II − had been pulled from basic training curriculum.

Whoops

 
History, I know many in the Red Hat Club prefer to rewrite their own history, but factual history is important to most, especially if it includes something you take pride in
The whole of the Tuskegee Airmen saga is little more than a footnote to history. It's been built up and overblown just like the significance of the Navajo Code Talkers. And there were other tribes involved with the US Army in other theaters of the war doing the same thing that never got the sort of recognition the Navajo in the Marine Corps got.
 
The Air Force has pulled courses that included DEI materials, which involved videos on the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs).

These historical videos were part of basic military training and were specifically used in blocks like Airmindedness, Human Relations, and Team Building.

However, the Air Force clarified that the curriculum focusing on the historical legacy and valor of these groups would continue, just not as part of DEI training modules.

The color issue is becoming a moot issue in America.

That train has left the station.

A meritocracy is what America voted for.

If you are green and the best qualified, you should get the job.

Common sense.

Unintended Consequences From Another Hasty Decision In True Trump Style

by Libtard Chronicles

In a plot twist that could only happen in the Trump administration, a top-secret government program aimed at inclusivity has been thrown into chaos. An unnamed but famous blogger, known for unearthing Trump's nefarious plans, has received confidential information from solid but anonymous sources.. This government worker, who said while he/she/them/they/us/it could barely keep from tears, was stationed in an underground bunker, teaching the nuanced art of gender roles to our nation's security forces. Armed with the finest life sized props and detailed models fully outfitted with a variety of relevant attire, was tasked with the crucial role of educating security forces on the myriad of gender identities and common behaviors. But in a move straight out of a villain's handbook, Trump, with a flick of his pen, ordered all the props to be confiscated, leaving our gender guru with nothing but their imagination and a room full of confused agents. Now, coming from deep inside the bowels of government, where the coffee is as black as the ops, there's a groundswell of support for bringing back the props, because how else will we know if our spies can blend in at a drag brunch?
