Air Force removes some articles about first female Thunderbird pilot, citing DEI directive

Maybe:
Katy Perry could sing/roar about the first female Thunderbird pilot

Gayle King on CBS could weigh in on the erasing of women in aviation history?

Her BFF Oprah, could talk about it? Or will the men folks, Dr. Oz & Dr Phil, do the talking for her?

Jeff Bezos' fiance could ask The Washington Post editorial page TO endorse women's role in aviation?

#DEI is not a crime.

"'You cave into these demands, and you're no different from the other side,' [Marie] Vibbert said. '... We have a very diverse student population, especially in the graduate schools, and it's like we're throwing our core audience under the bus for people in power who don't care one way or another about us.' Her boss removed the pages, and she was told to share access to the website with the university's marketing team."
