Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/tuskegee-airmen-video-air-force-changes-course-20057246.php

It's still censorship
And SUPPORT THE ACLU!
This ain’t 1970, maga.
Stay in your lane, which is 1929…
We need to work on midterms NOW as well as fight back with everything we’ve got as the needs arise.
People working on midterms are some of the most outspoken right now
My read is that the Training Squadron yessired.
Tuskegee Airmen and The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) may have had intentions, but the event and history of them is FACTS
You can try to avoid facts, but as it has been said before, "Truth catches up with all of us."
Avoiding facts is a dictator ploy
STAY LOUD! 📣
STAY STRONG! 💪
That your government even tried to pull this one is disturbing.
😆😉
Carry on.
KEEP SPEAKING OUT.
The kind of people in charge will do this again the moment we aren’t looking.
So each time anyone sees a woman or black person in a position of prominence folks who don't like it can claim DEI- And so only people who already have friends in the party can safely sustain their positions.

"DEI material" not permitted under Trump's order was removed from the course, but the historical videos will remain, the official said."

Tuskegee Airmen were the opposite of DEI. They were no token Negros.
They were selected, standard tested and those who were supremely fit for duty were trained to make an elite unit and they did. At all times despite being discriminated against token whites.

Fnck them, it absolutely did not.
But this reflexive worship of the military - it's very dangerous. Especially now.
I agree that some white folks aren’t gonna wanna hear that.
And yet there were a lot of young men, white, black, and Hispanic that voted for Trump. I’m just asking to reach out to the young men that will listen. 1/
