Air Force Reinstates Tuskegee Airmen and WASPs Videos After Initial Removal Due to Trump's DEI Order
Jan 26, 2025, 03:00 PM
The U.S. Air Force initially removed training courses that included videos of the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) from its basic military training curriculum, in compliance with President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at halting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The decision sparked controversy, with Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. expressing strong opposition, arguing that these historical narratives are essential to American military history. Following public and organizational backlash, the Air Force announced that it would reinstate the videos about the Tuskegee Airmen and WASPs into the training curriculum starting Monday, after a review confirmed compliance with Trump's DEI ban. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to address the issue further.
