Summary

The Trump administration is facing backlash after reports that the Defense Department flagged over 26,000 images for deletion due to alleged connections to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Among them are photos of trailblazing pilots, including the Tuskegee Airmen and Col. Jeannie Leavitt.

Most controversially, an image of the WWII aircraft Enola Gay was flagged, seemingly because its name includes the word “gay.”

The revelation has sparked mockery online, with critics calling this “the STUPIDEST administration in American history.”

    I’d love to hear a coherent reason backed by facts and evidence about why DEI is bad?

    Whenever someone tells me they don’t like DEI and I ask why, it’s always some unhinged spiel about women and immigrants taking their jobs.

      To be honest, I’ve had this discussion countless times at this point and I’m just tired of discussing it, especially with americans. It’s a fruitless endeavor.
