Summary

The Pentagon has removed web pages about Holocaust remembrance and other historical topics to comply with Trump’s order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal government sites.

Taken-down pages include stories of Holocaust survivors and religious tolerance, as well as content about 9/11 and veterans’ issues.

The Defense Department used automated tools to identify and delete up to 24,000 pages.

Critics argue this erases significant historical narratives, while the Pentagon defends the move as necessary to end “Woke cultural Marxism.”

    Could somebody explain to me precisely how either of those things have anything to do with “DEI”? Or what Nazism and Islamism have to do with Marxism for that matter?

      Nothing at all. DEI is just being used like a catch-all media buzzword to justify racism. To Trump, DEI means “Anything at all about anyone who isn’t a cis white male that I don’t like”.

      All life has to do with DEI. The real heart of DEI was inclusion. The whole USA was living one of the most inclusive lifestyles in the world.

      It is exactly what Trump said he would do, America First.

      I really wasn’t expecting, that he has a very narrow and twisted view of who he sees as American.

      Musk, the most dangerous immigrant of all time, gets the keys to the country.

      At the same time immigrants, that earned their American citizenship by hard work, part of a community, are being treated like pigs and deported.

      With DEI officially disappearing, we will see all the good things we build in the last decades also disappear.

          I somehow see that implied by being inclusive. You can only be really inclusive, if you value diversity and equity, or?

          But you’re right, that’s just my personal view and not clear in my comment …
