Air Force Removes Tuskegee Airmen and WASPs Videos from Training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland Following Trump's DEI Order
Jan 25, 2025, 08:14 PM
The U.S. Air Force has removed training videos featuring the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) from its basic training curriculum at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. This action was taken in response to President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across the federal government. The videos, which were part of DEI training courses, highlighted the contributions of these pioneering WWII pilots. The removal has sparked criticism and confusion within the military and among the public, with some viewing it as a misinterpretation of the executive order's intent.
