The U.S. Air Force has reinstated training courses that include videos about the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) following a brief suspension on January 23 to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across the federal government. The courses were restored on Monday after a review confirmed that the training materials align with the executive order while focusing on the historical legacy and valor of these units during World War II. The decision to pause the courses sparked significant backlash, prompting swift action to restore the educational content.
