Quote:NASA has scrubbed two graphic novels featuring female astronauts from its website, in a move that is in apparent alignment with the Trump administration’s anti-DEI stance.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies are those that generally promote fair treatment of people of all backgrounds. The Trump administration is not a fan of DEI—on the first day of Trump’s second term, the White House called DEI programs “illegal and immoral” and declared that the government is “committed to serving every person with equal dignity and respect.” To that end, it seems that NASA removed graphic novels about a fictional female astronaut named Callie Rodriguez from its website.
