Air Force Removes Tuskegee Airmen, WASP Training Videos Amidst DEI Controversy
The U.S. Air Force has removed lesson plans featuring the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) from its basic training curriculum. This action is part of a broader review of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training materials mandated by a presidential executive order aimed at eliminating such programs within the federal government. While the historical videos themselves may not be problematic, their inclusion in DEI coursework triggered their removal. The Air Force is taking a wide-ranging approach to ensure compliance with the executive order, pending further guidance.
