Lessons on Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, have been removed from #AirForce lesson plans.  Lessons on the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of around 1,000 black pilots who were trained at a segregated air base in Alabama between 1941 and 1946, are also removed.

The Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, were the female World War II pilots who were vital in ferrying warplanes for the military.

The WASPs contributed to World War II by learning to fly and ferry new bombers off the assembly lines to airfields where they were needed to ship off to war — freeing up male pilots to focus on combat missions overseas.

They earned the right to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.  

The Tuskegee Airmen, known as the “Red Tails” were the nation’s first Black military pilots who served in a segregated WWII unit and their all-Black 332nd Fighter Group had one of the lowest loss records of all the bomber escorts in World War II.  They flew P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang and other fighter aircraft to escort American bombers on dangerous missions over Germany.

They also earned the right to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

The @UsAirForce_F22  confirmed the courses with those videos had been removed and said it “will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President, ensuring that they are carried out with utmost professionalism, efficiency and in alignment with national security objectives.”

Racism is now the official policy of the US military apparently.
