This follows President Trump's executive order prohibiting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies in federal government agencies and the military.
Videos about the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots — or WASP — were taught to a group of trainees at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland, as first reported by the San Antonio Express-News.
The Air Force announced on Sunday that it will resume that part of the curriculum.

Senate Committee releases report on immigrant child's death
A Senate committee has issued their findings on the death of a young girl who was in custody at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection station in Texas.
Eight-year-old Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez died in 2023 at the Texas border after her mother repeatedly asked authorities for medical care. The girl’s family was seeking asylum in the U.S. after leaving Honduras.
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee said the girl’s death was indicative of systemic problems with the provision of medical care in CBP facilities.
The committee concluded the agency should take immediate steps to shorten the time that medically vulnerable individuals spend in custody in order to prevent similar deaths.
