The US Air Force's attempt to improve the number of minority and female pilots in its ranks has failed. The project, which was carried out through an experiment known as the "America's Class," was abandoned after it was discovered that it violated the department's anti-discrimination rules.
Despite the initiative's efforts to improve the graduation rates of women and minorities, it did not produce the desired results. According to the officers, they were also ordered to prevent white males from participating in the classes. This shows that when it comes to prioritizing advancement and safety, the focus is often placed on the status of women and minorities instead of the other factors.

Initially, the class was supposed to have the same proportions of women and ethnic groups as the U.S. population, but the incoming class' demographics prevented this from happening. To address this issue, officers were asked to change the class composition with "anybody non-white," which they claimed violated the Air Force's non-discrimination policy.
The results of the course revealed that focusing on the status of women and minorities instead of the skills and merit of individuals would lead to a pointless drive for diversity. The Air Force should start considering all aspects of an applicant's qualifications when it comes to filling vacancies.
The recruitment process for the Air Force should be conducted in a way that provides all individuals with equal opportunities. It should also avoid excluding people based on their gender or ethnicity.
Although the Air Force's strategy precludes the use of numerical quotas for promotions and recruitment, it still has to implement diversity programs. The Air Force's broader goal is to promote cultural Marxism, which was also highlighted by the Biden administration's critical race theory initiative.
The concept of critical race theory encourages the development of inclusive and diverse communities by ensuring equal outcomes for all individuals based on their ethnicity and race. It is essential to uphold the standards of merit-based culture while avoiding setting quotas or adopting one-sided social views within the armed forces.
