Air Force scraps course that used videos of Tuskegee Airmen and female WWII pilots

[Mac-7]

Nothing in the Trump EO demands not showing those films

This is an unforced error by liberals in the Air Force to create controversy

 

[Superbadbrutha]

You need to say “explain, SIR.”

Hard to put those racist thoughts on paper.

 

[DonGlock26]

Explain.

I just did. What part don't you understand?

 

[Moonglow]

Duh. I’m an intelligent, educated woman. Why are you telling me something that every high school student has learned about?

How many years did you serve in the military?

 

[irosie91]

So they faced no racism and discrimination, it was black folks who were mistreating them.

Super, you are presenting yourself as DESPERATE

 

[Lisa558]

So they faced no racism and discrimination, it was black folks who were mistreating them.

When did I ever say that?

Stop deflecting. The point is that DEI “training” is no longer part of the program, since racist DEI policies have correctly been abolished.

 

[Moonglow]

He’s not eliminating that, I’m sure there have been many accomplishments in the last three generations by units that included black men and women.

Why pick an accomplishment that has NO whites?

Were the women not white?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Duh. I’m an intelligent, educated woman. Why are you telling me something that every high school student has learned about?

What year did schools start teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen.

 

[Lisa558]

I just did. What part don't you understand?

He’s a leftist, an angry old black man, and a proponent of racism (against whites). He may even be IM2’s sock.

Lisa McClain Confronts Top General About DEI Training, 'Woke Agenda' In The Military​

May 1, 2023

Nothing in the Trump EO demands not showing those films

This is an unforced error by liberals in the Air Force to create controversy

Yeah, looking into this story, we don't know what that course is actually about. . . "the messaging."


Nothing in this executive order forbids educating personnel about these historic events.

 

[Lisa558]

What year did schools start teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen.

No clue. I learned about it when I was in high school, in the 1970s.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

When did I ever say that?

Stop deflecting. The point is that DEI “training” is no longer part of the program, since racist DEI policies have correctly been abolished.

You asked the dumb question of what whites?

Why was DEI created?

 

[Lisa558]

Hard to put those racist thoughts on paper.

What’s racist about that?

 

[DonGlock26]

He’s a leftist, an angry old black man, and a proponent of racism (against whites). He may even be IM2’s sock.

Socks do come in pairs.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

I just did. What part don't you understand?

The part where you claim DEI discriminates against white men.

 

[Lisa558]

You asked the dumb question of what whites?

Why was DEI created?

To exclude white men from positions and give them to blacks, women, ans gays - even in cases where the white men were the more capable.

 

[Lisa558]

The part where you claim DEI discriminates against white men.

Of course it does. In the liberal county where I grew up, the fire department announced that 50% of all new hires would be black (even though they were at most 15% of the population).

That meant when a black and white both applied for the same position, the black man got the job even when he was less qualified.

That’s racism. Pure and simple.

Trumps evil diktats make america worse. Makes it the shithole it always was.

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.

More DEI fallout: Air Force scraps course that used videos of Tuskegee Airmen and female WWII pilots

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...

The racist are celebrating, I definitely want someone to ask Byron Donalds, Wesley Hunt and Tim Scott about this.

But ..you dishonest, race baiting scumbag THEY DID NOT REMOVE THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN FROM THE TRAINING CURRICULUM...There were some newer courses that integrated LGBTQ crap that happened to have footage of the TAM in them.
Those courses were discontinued and the TAM still hold the same honored position in Air Force history and Training that they always did outside of the diseased newer productions that abused the memory of those brave AIRMEN.

Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

www.whitehouse.gov

". . . . Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), assisted by the Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), shall coordinate the termination of all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government, under whatever name they appear. To carry out this directive, the Director of OPM, with the assistance of the Attorney General as requested, shall review and revise, as appropriate, all existing Federal employment practices, union contracts, and training policies or programs to comply with this order. Federal employment practices, including Federal employee performance reviews, shall reward individual initiative, skills, performance, and hard work and shall not under any circumstances consider DEI or DEIA factors, goals, policies, mandates, or requirements.

(b) Each agency, department, or commission head, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Director of OMB, and the Director of OPM, as appropriate, shall take the following actions within sixty days of this order:

(i) terminate, to the maximum extent allowed by law, all DEI, DEIA, and “environmental justice” offices and positions (including but not limited to “Chief Diversity Officer” positions); all “equity action plans,” “equity” actions, initiatives, or programs, “equity-related” grants or contracts; and all DEI or DEIA performance requirements for employees, contractors, or grantees.

(ii) provide the Director of the OMB with a list of all:

(A) agency or department DEI, DEIA, or “environmental justice” positions, committees, programs, services, activities, budgets, and expenditures in existence on November 4, 2024, and an assessment of whether these positions, committees, programs, services, activities, budgets, and expenditures have been misleadingly relabeled in an attempt to preserve their pre-November 4, 2024 function;

(B) Federal contractors who have provided DEI training or DEI training materials to agency or department employees; and

(C) Federal grantees who received Federal funding to provide or advance DEI, DEIA, or “environmental justice” programs, services, or activities since January 20, 2021.

(iii) direct the deputy agency or department head to:

(A) assess the operational impact (e.g., the number of new DEI hires) and cost of the prior administration’s DEI, DEIA, and “environmental justice” programs and policies; and

(B) recommend actions, such as Congressional notifications under 28 U.S.C. 530D, to align agency or department programs, activities, policies, regulations, guidance, employment practices, enforcement activities, contracts (including set-asides), grants, consent orders, and litigating positions with the policy of equal dignity and respect identified in section 1 of this order. The agency or department head and the Director of OMB shall jointly ensure that the deputy agency or department head has the authority and resources needed to carry out this directive.

(c) To inform and advise the President, so that he may formulate appropriate and effective civil-rights policies for the Executive Branch, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy shall convene a monthly meeting attended by the Director of OMB, the Director of OPM, and each deputy agency or department head to:

(i) hear reports on the prevalence and the economic and social costs of DEI, DEIA, and “environmental justice” in agency or department programs, activities, policies, regulations, guidance, employment practices, enforcement activities, contracts (including set-asides), grants, consent orders, and litigating positions;

(ii) discuss any barriers to measures to comply with this order; and

(iii) monitor and track agency and department progress and identify potential areas for additional Presidential or legislative action to advance the policy of equal dignity and respect. . . "


Nothing in this order forbids educating troops about the history of the Air Force. This decision to exclude certain educational materials was made by the Air Force. Why? We can't really know unless we see those vids in the context of this E.O.
