WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The US Air Force said on Sunday that it would resume teaching the trainees using a video of the first black pilot in the US military, known as the Tuskegee pilot, who passed the review to ensure compliance with President Donald Trump’s ban on diversity, fairness and integration initiatives.
Trump, who took office on January 20, banned Dei throughout the US government and the American army. On Friday, the new Defense Minister Beit Higseth made the elimination of Di from the army a top priority.
Reuters reported on Saturday that the video of Batar Girlins and others on the civilian pilots trained by the US Army during World War II, known as “Air Force Service Pilot”, or wasps, were not taught in basic training at a joint base of San Antonio Lacand review.
This step was first reported by San Antonio Express-Ins.
On Sunday, the Air Force said that both videos will be taught.
“None of the pilots or guardians will miss this mass of instructions due to the review, but one group of trainees are late in the training,” said Luknat Brian Robinson, who leads the Air Education Command in a statement.
Among the Tuskegee 450 pilots fought abroad in separate units during World War II. Their success in fighting helped pave the way for President Harry Truman’s decision to cancel the assembly of the armed forces in 1948.
DEI programs seek to enhance the opportunities of women, ethnic minorities and other traditional groups represented by an incomplete representation. Civil rights defenders argue that these programs, which are generally supported by Democrats, are necessary to address long and structural inequality.
They were attacked by conservatives, who say sex -focused initiatives are by nature discriminatory and fail to determine the priorities of merit.
