A Webpage is dedicated The US baseball legend was removed from Jackie Robinson and then restored to the Defense Department’s website.
To comply with President Donald Trump’s anti -DEI executive orders, the Pentagon is peeking his articles, photos and videos website, which says promoting diversity, equity and involvement.
Robinson’s page, a “sports hero who served” was part of the series, was briefly removed. It is not clear how long the page was, but A journalist A screenshot was published on Bluesky on Tuesday morning, which showed the “404 page”, which has been entered into the “Dei” URL on the whole page, showing an error message.
Subsequently, the famous Brooklyn Dodgers Player page has been restored, and Pentagon press secretary John Eliot confirmed the error in a joint statement with a business insider on Wednesday.
Eleight’s statement notes that, in some “rare cases”, the content is found out of the scope of the recipe “Either deliberately or mistaken.”
“Everyone in the Defense Department loves Jackie Robinson, as well as Navajo Code Tricks, Tuskye Airman, Marines in Evo Jema, and many other people.
Robinson’s now restoration page describes the details of his life and achievements, from growing in California in the 1920s, from serving in World War I to its prominent baseball career, first in the Negro Leagues and then one of the first black players in the Major League baseball. Robinson was also a prominent leader In the Civil Rights Movement.
Elliott’s statement continues, “We do not see or highlight them through an unprecedented characteristics, such as race, race, or sexual relations.” “We just recognize the dedication of their patriotism and a war mission, like every other American who wore a uniform.”
Robinson’s page repeatedly refers to his race and his struggle, which he faced as a black man, including “hating the fans” and is being told that he has to be prepared to counter the inevitable racial abuse by him.
It is unclear why Robinson’s page was removed or if the Department of Trump and the Secretary of Defense Pat Hegsit intend to eliminate Robinson’s race references from the web page to comply with the anti -DEI instructions. When arrived for the comment, the Defense Department did not respond to whether it intends to change the content of this page.
In his statement, Elevat called DI a “discriminatory equity theory”, adding that this is “A form of waking cultural Marxism that divides the force, eliminates the unit’s harmony and interferes with the mission of the basic fighters of the services.”
