Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

How is this 'malicious compliance'? Removing a DEI-focussed teaching aid, even temporarily, seems like 'compliant compliance'?
Without knowing the content of the training or the actual intent of the people who decided to pull it, it's pretty hard to say whether it was malicious compliance, or just plain-old compliance.
However, it got at least one republican's feathers ruffled (the one who called it malicious is a Republican)
So if they knew it would get that kind of reaction and did it specifically to do so, that would be "malicious"
I could certainly imagine someone in the airforce deciding "You know, Alabama has pretty much nothing to be proud of except for the Tuskegee Airmen. I bet if word gets out that we're stopping this training, some Alabama politician will make a stink over it, and make us roll it back. Then when they get on our case about other 'DEI' training, we can point to this as an example and say 'well we tried to stop that one and you got butthurt about it, and these are more of the same kind of thing, so either make up your fucking minds or get off our fucking backs and let us do our god damned jobs'"
Again though, without knowing their actual intention it could just be plain ol' compliance or even just incompetence that led to this.
People don't know legal stuff inside out as a permanent memory. They need time to read the materials and understand what they can do legally.
Thus, 'malicious compliance' is resisting by following the laws to the letter and 'compliant compliance' is not giving a shit about the laws.
