Tuskegee Airmen will no longer be taught to Air Force recruits

Well done, MAGA. You put pure evil in The White House. I'm waiting for our resident both sides guys to acknowledge how shitty this is. Everything Trump has done in a week is freaking disgusting. Racist and disgusting. Pushed by the bigots from the Heritage Foundation.I live in San Antonio and worked on Lackland for 20 years. This was in our local paper today:
TL;DR Summary:
President Trump signed an executive order banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across the federal government, resulting in immediate changes within the Air Force. At Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, a video about the Tuskegee Airmen, along with content on Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) and diversity, was removed from the Air Force basic training curriculum. The Tuskegee Airmen, pioneering Black pilots in World War II, shattered racial barriers and became legendary for their contributions to the war effort, while the WASP broke gender barriers by serving critical roles in aviation during the same period. Critics argue that the decision to remove these materials undermines historical education, with many asserting that such content represents history, not DEI initiatives.
Heeding Trump, Air Force won't teach recruits about Tuskegee Airmen
A video on the pioneering Black pilots, famed for their World War II exploits, was stripped from an Air Force basic training curriculum this week.www.expressnews.com
None of them will return. They were hit with facts and substance, so they'll just start a new thread with a bunch of inflammatory rhetoric. They think it's funny....until eventually it won't be.
Such scumbags ITT. Maga can’t help it, though.
Was pretty cool class and learning about the first squadron you are in for BMT. Along with everything else you think about standing at attention at lights out when Taps plays.
You and the MAGA cult members going to find a link to refute it or not? God forbid you could just type, "I apologize. OP was right." You won't because you're a bigot and support Trump doing this...trying to eliminate a legendary group of heroes from history. Fvck. You.
I like you, Alaska, but seriously. Why do you engage that colossal piece of shit?
Also if you look more into the story Iowa has ties to Tuskegee Airmen and that made me really proud learning about them when I was away from Iowa for the first time in my life with dudes from all over the country not giving two craps about Iowa. Good times.
Dude, shut the F up about stuff you don’t understand. You are just being a douche and you know it. I served 8 years Active Duty Air Force, my father served in the Air Force, my Grandfather flew B26 Marauders during WW2. Guess what, there was no Air Force before Army Air Corps. Should we not learn about our heritage? Should we not take pride in the branch we serve in. I was stationed at Tinker AFB in Midwest City OK. Two of my sons were born there. You make me embarrassed that they are Okies.
Which of those is a cabinet level position? Any idea if their CVs had applicable experience? Did they have other qualifications? Or just cause they are different from you, you believe they must not be qualified? The Babylon Bee tries so hard and sucks so badly at being funny.
We should learn about all of it.
Leave the Tranny’s and Diversity/Equity out if it.
It’s called celebrating accomplishments and recognizing them.
Related all federal agencies are being told no celebration of Black History Month. It’s an interesting proof in many ways that maybe DEI was in fact needed at places…
Also related, more Black people voted for Trump than they did previously, including a whopping 3 out of 10 Black males under 45. Let it burn.

Donald Trump won the presidency after holding tight to his core base of voters and slightly expanding his coalition to include several groups that have traditionally been a part of the Democratic base.

You say you want to be taken seriously and not be grouped in with the likes of H4aD and Rico, then you come in here and act just like them? Seriously, Scruddy, what is up w/ you? Any rational person should be able to take their team jersey off and have a rational discussion about a topic w/o taking a stance that places you on the side of spite. I looked at Trump's first grouping of EOs, for example, and can honestly say I'm okay with a few of them. I don't have to be all in or all out (although, with Trump--I'm mostly out because I see who he is).

Is not the same as this guy in 2025:
It's very clear he's on a spiteful revenge tour, and as a Christ Follower, I want no part of it.
You get your ass handed to you in this thread(as well as many others) & you always default to a gay or trans joke. Such a loser troll

Oh, so learning about historical events that involve people who are not white is being DEI. It can’t just be anything else. Got it.

This will bring down the prices of eggs. $5.99 when I bought them yesterday. Should be .99 by the end of the month formerly known as Black History Month.
The MAGA responses in this thread are so damn predictable.
Meh. GFY. I was never in the Chair Force and yet I somehow know the story of the Red Tails, the army air corps, the army air force, etc. I was never in the marines and yet I know about the Black Sheep. Go figure.
I don’t think it is. I think removing it is “bold”, in that it seems like bold face racism and sexism.
I think calling that out is normal.
Some DEI stuff can go, this ain’t it.

Typical response, degrade the people who serve by calling their branch of service “chair force” Can’t wait to read more of your posts. Enlightening.
Lol I admittedly just came into this thread to have fun and laugh at some of the crying. You seemed legit upset about this topic and out of respect to your position I opted not to keep rolling with you. I get some of what you're saying and I don't disagree with all of it. I do think 25 trump is off to a way better start than 2017 trump was. Despite some potential bath water moments as you put it.You say you want to be taken seriously and not be grouped in with the likes of H4aD and Rico, then you come in here and act just like them?

I wasn't the one who originally mentioned long dongs..
Who said that fool, i said we should learn all about the Tuskegee Airmen and celebrate them.
Celebrate their merit, not their skin color
Always good when people who never served feel compelled to dictate curriculum.
He is active duty in the Gravy Seals.
It's not "upset" in the traditional sense, especially not in the "liberal tears" way (and, to be clear, I'm not a liberal). Instead, it's a concern for the direction of our country. There are unintended consequences (or maybe intended, only time will tell) to ripping the band-aid off in spite. A reasonable approach regarding illegal immigration was laid out, but none of you have bothered to respond to it.
I get it; it's an anonymous message board, but more often than not, this place reflects the true nature of a person's character. I'm typically pretty honest despite the anonymity.
And clearly an idiot who can’t adhere to basic comma slice rules 6th graders are taught,
Are seriously suggesting the learning from history isn't important?
…as long as we don’t mention they were black and why that is important in American history. I stand by what I said.
Stop, Feeding. The, Troll.
These guys are worthless pieces of shit who have no redeeming value or purpose in life. Hence why they spend day and night here desperately seeking purpose and validation to their otherwise meaningless existence.
They went from denying it was true to nit picking things about it to justify. This is a simple reason why Nazi Germany happened and how dire of a path we are currently on.
