Eradicating "DEI"

2025-03-20 16:53:51.6911+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

In case there was any question at all about what's meant when people complain about "DEI", yesterday it was Jackie Robinson, restored to the DoD website after outcry, today it's Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. William Carney erased from Pentagon website

A Black soldier who was awarded the Medal of Honor at the Civil War battle retold as the finale of the 1989 movie “Glory” has been scrubbed from a Pentagon website, with an article on the soldier labeled as “DEI” in the now-broken web link.

In case there was any question:

The page now reverts to a 404 error — an internet term for a missing page — and the URL address for the page now has “DEI” added to its title.
