Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Air Force clarified no specific attempt was made to eliminate coverage of these historical figures, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth vowed to restore the curriculum. Critics expressed disappointment over the original decision, which many viewed as a misinterpretation of the DEI initiative.
