Tuskegee Airmen were the 1st Black aviators in the U.S. Air Corp. Under FDR, they overcame significant racial barriers during WWII as the highest rated surviving bomber crews to protect the entirety of the war efforts in combat against the Nazis. They were supported by Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) who flew aircraft and trained other pilots during WWII freeing up male pilots for combat roles.
These men (The Red Tails) and women (Fireflies) were an integral part of desegregation in the military and the country. Decorated, honorable men and women who have been walking the halls of the White House for decades. “A memo circulated among Air Force personnel said that in accordance with NEW DEIA Guidance, portions of the basic training curriculum were being revised immediately. A video on the Tuskegee Airmen had been excised from a course on air-mindedness. Also deleted were a second video titled Breaking Barriers and a third about the Women Airforce Service Pilots.” I’ll leave it at this for now. |

Wow. This is awful on so many levels.
Firstly, how on earth can an Air Force trainee learn ANYTHING without videos on the Tuskegee Airmen or Women in the Air Force? These videos are vital to basic training. there goes the skies. Might as well ground all jets moving forward. Second, the fact that simply removing these videos from the DEI component of basic training completely erases them from history is jaw dropping. Do all books, films, chapters in textbooks, firsthand stories just cease to exist? How does that work? This is crazy! |

This is so ridiculous. They are removing any military aviation history that isn't about white men.

Nazi PROPAGANDA is the goal. I say this as a white person who despises these creeps.
The white nationalist terrorists have already started meeting with Trump & Republicans. |

This is like how employees sabotaged Twitter when Musk took over. I was getting porn links in my timeline.
They resisted his order to shut down DEI offices, and deliberately pulled this stunt to make Trump look bad. |

You are over simplifying this with your sarcasm. |

Is there ANYONE who doesn’t already know who the Tuskegee Airmen were? Especially anyone enlisting in the Air Force?
Air Force recruits in basic training would be better off spending that 30 minutes they’d have spent watching the video doing some extra PT. They need all help they can get. We used to call the Air Force the “Chair Force”, because they spent so much time sitting around doing nothing that their fat butts were the same shape as their chairs. Even the Navy people were in better shape. |

Are you kidding? Young people don't even know what the Holocaust is. You think they know about the Tuskegee Airmen? Maybe someone will put out a very factual TikTok and they'll learn everything they need to know. |
