“The National Archives museum, under Biden-appointed U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan, has been working to reshape its narrative of American history in order to make white conservatives more comfortable … The museum has removed references to Martin Luther King Jr., Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control … A photo of King was replaced with one of Richard Nixon meeting Elvis Presley.”

@aral@mastodon.ar.al Fuck this right in the neck. If we're not preserving history to learn from mistakes of the past, then it's absolutely worthless. Also, goddamn disgusting.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al So interesting that the original story is published in the WSJ - a news outlet owned by Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp. It is then picked up by a leftist news organization and regurgitated. Really interesting.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al JFC. There is no bottom to worse, and no end to the whining of these white supremacist pillocks. But for a museum to give in to their sniveling is the absolute end!

@aral@mastodon.ar.al Trying to be shocked by this photograph of the "Biden-appointed U.S. Archivist" who thinks everything should be sanitized and tidy for the sake of comforting bigots.
