An article about Jackie Robinson\u2019s service in the Army was scrubbed from the Department of Defense website on Wednesday and later restored after a DOD official told ABC News that it had been \u201cmistakenly removed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The official told the outlet that it had been caught up among other materials removed over search terms used to identify diversity, equity and inclusion content from the site, as part of President Donald Trump\u2019s directive to do away with DEI initiatives set by the previous administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The article, part of a DOD series entitled \u201cSports Heroes Who Served,\u201d is a celebration of Robinson\u2019s athletic achievements as well as his military service during World War II and his lasting legacy as a civil rights icon as he became the first black player in Major League Baseball in 1947.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot told multiple outlets in a statement that \u201ceveryone at the Defense Department loves Jackie Robinson,\u201d while also mentioning their respect for the Tuskegee Airmen, Navajo Code Talkers and Marines at Iwo Jima \u2013 all of whom also had their DOD webpages taken down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those pages are also expected to be restored, ABC News reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe salute them for their strong and in many cases heroic service to our country, full stop,\u201d Ullyot said in the statement. \u201cWe do not view or highlight them through the prism of immutable characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, or sex. We do so only by recognizing their patriotism and dedication to the warfighting mission like ever other American who has worn the uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ullyot also referred to DEI as \u201cDiscriminatory Equity Ideology\u201d and added that it \u201cdivides\u201d and \u201cerodes\u201d cohesion among the unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased by the rapid compliance across the Department with the directive removing DEI content from all platforms,\u201d he said. \u201cIn the rare cases that content is removed \u2014 either deliberately or by mistake \u2014 that is out of the clearly outlined scope of the directive, we instruct the components and they correct the content so it recognizes our heroes for their dedicated service alongside their fellow Americans, period.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The article, titled \u201cSports Heroes Who Served: Baseball Great Jackie Robinson Was WWII Soldier,\u201d told the story of how Robinson was assigned to a segregated Army cavalry unit after he was drafted in 1942 and addressed his 1944 arrest when he refused an order to go the back of an Army bus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Robinson was acquitted during a court-martial later that year and honorably discharged in Nov. 1944.<\/p>\n
Robinson\u2019s place in American history has been solidified a number of times, including by MLB which permanently retired his No. 42 across the entire league and celebrates Jackie Robinson Day every April 15.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just last month, Trump announced plans for a statute of Robinson, among other notable Black figures, to be part of the proposed National Garden of American Heros.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the announcement, Trump described them as \u201cgenerations of Black legends, champions, warriors and patriots who helped drive our country forward to greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
