In mid-March, the Pentagon removed a series of
government web pages on Black pioneers and
notable military members;
John Ullyot
who answered the media's questions about the
scrubbing / deleting of information concerning
Jackie Robinson's service in the Military forces
said, "DEI is dead at the defense department."
Adding that "he was pleased with the department's
rapid compliance with a directive ordering that
diversity-related content be removed from all
platforms."
Mr. Ullyot was removed from his position
shortly afterward.
[POLITICO dot-com reports he is leaving
at the end of the week of April 14 - 18, 2025]
