U.S. Air Force Removes Tuskegee Airmen and WASPs Videos From Training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland Following Trump's DEI Order
Jan 26, 2025, 12:00 AM
The U.S. Air Force has removed training courses that included videos about the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) from its basic military training curriculum at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. This action follows an executive order from President Donald Trump aimed at ending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government. The videos, which were part of DEI courses, have been pulled as the Air Force reviews its curriculum to ensure compliance with the new directives. The Tuskegee Airmen, known as the 'Red Tails,' were the nation's first Black military pilots who served in a segregated unit during World War II, while the WASPs were female pilots who ferried warplanes during the same period. The Air Force has stated its commitment to implementing all directives from the President's executive orders professionally and efficiently, aligning with national security objectives.
