Similar cancellations happened at the Army War College in Carlisle PA. Canx history courses about Black Soldiers and Women in Combat.

Reposted from Nicole Carr

The Air Force is stripping Tuskegee Airmen lessons from basic training curriculum because of our White supremacist government.
Put that in a headline.

"It can't happen here"??

tyendinaga.bsky.social•29 days ago

Shameful.

How is that possible, the US officers and instructors has no backbone or honour nowadays ?

lordbrucestuart.bsky.social•29 days ago

That's really sad, especially when you consider the outstanding combat record of the #TuskegeeAirman and how many bomber crews they saved - they were a credit to US WW2 armed forces & showed they were just as good as white pilots, despite those in government who denied it (how little times change!)

Or the women pilots who enabled the massive air war.

lordbrucestuart.bsky.social•28 days ago

And all the women factory workers like "Rosie the Riveter" who built the planes.

Civvy women never get their due.

A scandal. Hope all these horrible things become international news to build resistance to fascism everywhere.

PME prof here, would be curious to know more

Not on my watch, Ben. Do you recall when this happened, or is this a current event?

nefthy.de•28 days ago

That does not sound healthy.

sophieluther.bsky.social•28 days ago

They can stop teaching about it, but that doesn't mean we will.

A lot of people who voted for Trump got coned. Hopefully they will start to pay attention.

It’s getting beyond ridiculous 🤬

Ron DeSantis, Ben Sasse, and Christopher Rufo have cancelled “Women’s Literature” and “Women’s History” courses in Florida Universities.

These insecure “religious”zealots are so terrified of American History and Culture.

This was not part of his promises.. was it in project 2025?

nordicfella.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'm too ignorant to understand this.

nogaslight.bsky.social•28 days ago

Glad their racism is going overt.
It is going to backfire, providing Americans with an ever-expanding wakeup call: we need to say this isn't who we are.
Also, what kind of asshole goes after the Tuskegee Airmen?

cave-malum.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump proclaims the field of history is "DEI" and so subject to erasure. Damnatio memoriae doesn't work this way in the US.
Curious about Annapolis.

He's overcompensating for what he views as gone way too far. They understand academia and some of the ideology coming from there. They don't like it.

victor-laszlo.bsky.social•29 days ago

Set your clocks back to 1984...

erinpsyd.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good grief. This is utterly unconscionable.

heliumfactory.bsky.social•29 days ago

Those snowflakes are so insecure, that's mind blowing

southpatt.bsky.social•28 days ago

I can't but help draw parallels with russia and putin

michaleenoge.bsky.social•29 days ago

This is what's coming -- much faster than you think.

Did DOGE also shorten the military oath of enlistment to 14 words?

President Musk establishing Apartheid.

bacchus666.bsky.social•25 days ago

Failing to see how this historic revisionism helps our military. It is a dishonor to every veteran to diminish or hide the history of any of our distinguished service members. Whitewashing our military diminishes our country.

It’s a shame because the Tuskegee Airmen and the 442 RCT, etc are examples of how powerful and awesome the dream of America is.

The dream is so strong people are willing to give their “last full measure of devotion” despite suffering the worst indignities from their fellow Americans.

l1l1l1l.bsky.social•29 days ago

These Americans are worth highlighting, as FDR said:, “Americanism is a matter of mind and heart and never was a matter of race or ancestry.”

eastslope.bsky.social•29 days ago

So many people are weak in the moment, and surpress that shame lasts forever.

Shame lasts forever.

humanitynothate.bsky.social•28 days ago

I'm neither black, a woman or American, but I feel ashamed of the level of spiteful ingratitude this is displaying. What a mean spirited, narcissistic coward.

Erasing history at the whim of a monarch.
