PermalinkArlington Cemetery strips content on black and female veterans from website
Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed from its website information and
educational materials about the history of black and female service
members.
Some of the content removed from the site was on veterans who had received
the nation's highest military recognition, the Medal of Honor, according to
military news site Task & Purpose.
The content removal is part of a larger effort by President Donald Trump to
eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices in the military
and throughout the federal government.
The pages contained short biographies about veterans such as Gen Colin L
Powell, the first black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is the
highest rank in the military after the president.
They also told the life stories of members of the Tuskegee Airmen, the
country's first black military airmen.
Earlier this year, the Defense Department had to reinstate training
materials on the revered airmen after a national outcry over their removal
following Trump's orders on DEI.
Right-wing DEI hysteria. Imagine cowering in fear of showing important parts of
our military history! Duh boogieman gonna getcha!!!
It really is sick.
