Trump's executive order halting DEI means the Air Force no longer teaches recruits about WWII's Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots.

U.S. President Donald Trump's order halting diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives has led the Air Force to suspend course instruction on a documentary about the first Black airmen in the U.S. military,

The military and other agencies have scrambled to comply with President Trump's sweeping executive order barring DEI programs.

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.

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.

U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell says removing the video is a "betrayal of our values as Americans" and wants the decision reversed.

A video on the fad unit, as well as one on WWII-era women pilots, was cited as for the removal of a course from Air Force recruit curriculum.

President Donald Trump is now taking aim at the Tuskegee Airmen as he continues his effort to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. For years, the story of the trailblazing Black airmen from World War II has been part of the curriculum taught for new recruits at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
