Trump Orders NASA to Purge All Mentions of Women in Leadership On Its Websites

As President Donald Trump’s anti-DEI agenda comes to bear on NASA, we’re getting a revealing look at what his administration considers to be too woke: women.

In a directive sent out just days after Trump’s inauguration, NASA personnel were commanded to excise all mentions of anything “specifically targeting” women on the space agency’s public websites, 404 Media reports.

“Per NASA HQ direction, we are required to scrub mentions of the following terms from our public sites by 5pm ET today,” the directive reads. “This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request.”

The list of verboten terms includes “DEIA,” “accessibility,” “indigenous people,” “environmental justice,” and finally: “anything specifically targeting women,” such as “women in leadership, etc.”

Speaking anonymously to 404, a NASA employee confirmed that leadership were serious about the changes.

“We were absolutely required to scrub all DEI related or DEI adjacent topics and terms from all external websites by 5pm the 22nd,” the employee said.
