Today sucked. I woke up, first thing I see is this EO. As a self proclaimed history buff, I knew this would be my "WTAF" of the day. This EO isn't what it seems, it's not chg exhibits it's censoring history. “When you control what a nation remembers, you control what it becomes."

If the truth threatens the regime, rewriting history can erase inconvenient facts (atrocities, corruption'etc) to keep the population loyal and obedient.
Revising history,allows the creation of a new national identity.
It's not long until creeps from museums to the arts, books, music, films, the next thing you know all we have is state controlled propaganda.
Those of Nazi Germany or Stalin’s Soviet Union.
It's some real dystopian 1984, Handmaid’s Tale BS!
