As he fights against the scourge of high egg prices, the President has a new target: the Tuskegee Airmen. Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland will stop showing a video on the Tuskegee Airmen to new recruits.
“The effects were felt almost immediately at Lackland. A memo circulated among Air Force personnel said that “in accordance with NEW DEIA Guidance,” portions of the basic training curriculum were being revised “immediately.” DEIA stands for diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
The memo said a video on the Tuskegee Airmen had been excised from a course on “airmindedness,” a term for the habits and values the Air Force seeks to instill.
Also deleted were a second video titled “Breaking Barriers” and a third about the Women Airforce Service Pilots, an organization of civilian women who tested and delivered military aircraft during World War II, transported cargo and trained male pilots. Members of WASP were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2009.”
I don’t think you need me to explain the connection between honoring American heroes to give recruits a broad understanding of Air Force history and grocery prices, so I won’t bother.
Lock her up! Lock her up!
