This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jessica "STING" Peterson, a 42-year-old flight test engineer who has worked with the Air Force for nearly 20 years, first as a civil servant and later as a contractor. In February, Peterson found out that many articles highlighting her accomplishments or written by her would be removed following orders in a memo from the Office of the Secretary of Defense about the removal of content related to DEI from Department of Defense websites. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
