DEI ban: Air Force removes course videos of Tuskegee Airmen, female pilots

The U.S. Air Force has removed training courses for service members that included historical videos of its storied Black Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs — female World War II pilots. The step was to comply with the Trump administration’s DEI ban. The videos were shown to new enlisted troops as part of the diversity courses they took in basic training. The problem may not be with the videos themselves, but that they were used in DEI coursework. The lack of clearer guidance has led the Air Force and other agencies to take a broad approach to content they are removing from training.
