The Missouri Air National Guard’s 139th Airlift Wing is looking for what I call ‘Woke Folk’ to join their year old Diversity Council.  Going by the photo it looks like the Diversity Council consists of short females. The press release admits that the Diversity Council has been having problems attracting new members, it also revealed that the Diversity Council is a creation of Woke Folk higher-up the chain of command: “It’s really cool that even from state that’s what they’re also pushing and giving us information on so we can educate on that, but it’s a pretty broad spectrum of stuff we’re looking at and tackling and we’re just now getting off the ground too.”-Senior Airman Julia Jurgensmeyer, Co-chair Diversity Council
