It seems the DEI program was ended, but videos about the Tuskegee Airmen will still be available.

‘The course was shut down last week so officials could review it to make sure it complied with President Donald Trump's executive order ending federal diversity, equity and inclusion programs, an Air Force official said. "DEI material" not permitted under Trump's order was removed from the course, but the historical videos will remain, the official said.’
