Lesson plans about the Tuskegee Airmen, heroic Black pilots known for their service during World War II, and the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs), the female World War II pilots, have been axed from the U.S. Air Force curriculum.

From AP News:
The Air Force has removed training courses with videos of its storied Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs — the female World War II pilots who were vital in ferrying warplanes for the military — to comply with the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
The videos were shown to Air Force troops as part of DEI courses they took during basic military training.
In a statement, the Air Force confirmed the courses with those videos had been removed and said it “will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President, ensuring that they are carried out with utmost professionalism, efficiency and in alignment with national security objectives.”
The Air Force can no longer talk about the Tuskegee Airmen.
DHS had to cancel any discussion of Martin Luther King Jr. to commemorate MLK Day.
This isn’t an attempt to stop “DEI”. This is an effort by Trump to remove black people from our history.https://t.co/t3K533ZRxQ
