Lessons on black WWII pilots cut from air force training after Trump order

The article discusses how lessons on the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American pilots who flew with distinction during World War II, have been removed from the U.S. Air Force's training curriculum following an executive order by former President Donald Trump. This order, known as Executive Order 13950, aimed to eliminate "divisive concepts" from federal training programs, which critics argue includes critical race theory and discussions on race and diversity. The removal of these lessons has sparked controversy, with some arguing that it erases important historical contributions and lessons on diversity and inclusion. The decision has been criticized by educators, historians, and advocates for diversity, who believe that understanding the full scope of American history, including the challenges and achievements of minority groups, is essential for a comprehensive military education. The Air Force has stated that while the specific training on the Tuskegee Airmen was cut, the history of these pilots is still taught in other parts of the curriculum.
