THE AIR FORCE WILL NO LONGER USE OFFICIAL RESOURCES TO RECOGNIZE CULTURAL AWARENESS HOLIDAYS AND MONTHS. THIS INCLUDES MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, JUNETEENTH AND WOMENS EQUALITY DAY. THIS COMES AFTER A MEMO FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STATING THEY WANT TO FOCUS ON THE CHARACTER OF THEIR SERVICE RATHER THAN SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS ABOUT THEIR IDENTITY. ALSO IN THE MEMO, OFFICES ARE ASKED TO TAKE DOWN MATERIALS THAT PROMOTE D.E.I (DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION). THIS COMES AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS REPEALED D.E.I. POLICIES THROUGHOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
