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.”

    I didn’t know the Holocaust was diverse, equitable and inclusive! Quite the opposite actually…

    They have re-branded DEI to mean Divisive Equity Ideology. They had to have an answer for when someone asked why they were against DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion).

    Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder that self propelled compost sludge, Pete Hagseth, who was approved by the Republican Congress to serve as head of the DOJ, has multiple white Supremacists tattoos.

    I think the reasons behind these are:

    9/11 - Muslim-related. Something Trump has targeted before, huh, imagine that. But 9/11 wasn’t all about muslims, it was just started by a terrorist group of muslims.

    Holocaust - Jewish-related. Something suggests Trump has a conflicted interest on, since he helps Israel commit more genocide, so this one is a confused subject. Is he implying that he secretly hates Jews? Or placating to the haters in his voterbase that are anti-semitic?

        A very large proportion of holocaust survivors in Israel live in poverty and they are treated worse than stray animals…

    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?

      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.

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