A letter by Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) claims that the United States Air Force is continuing to push the Biden administration’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI agenda) in direct violation of federal law.
In a letter obtained by The Daily Wire, Banks addressed Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower & Reserve Affairs Alex Wagner, claiming that the Air Force had disguised the implementation of its DEI agenda to thwart provisions in the 2024 National Defense Authorization ACT (NDAA) that prevent the Defense Department from adding new DEI positions or filling any vacant DEI positions.
Banks, who serves as the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Military Personnel, wrote, “Rather than following the law, it appears that the Air Force has simply rebranded DEI.”
The Daily Wire reported that Banks’s letter comes as the U.S. military navigates the 2024 NDAA’s ban against new DEI initiatives. This year’s NDAA included provisions intended to stop President Joe Biden’s Defense Department from implementing its DEI agenda.
