The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion."
It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.

Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of an effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.

Disgusting 🤮.
Attempting to WIPE OUT the stellar contributions of people who AREN’T OLD, FAT, WHITE, MALES, just shows how TINY YOUR PENIS IS.

It's no accident that it's a target of transphobia, misogyny & re-segregation under this administration: they're creating a model vision for the rest of society.
Dare anyone to prove you otherwise.
We can find some white males to fill them, just like they want👿
We should give them EXACTLY what they deserve.
awhile back it looked as if some progress was being made, but now it just smells like wall-to-wall goddamned racists
It was all, always bullshit. Some people just didn't see it for what it was (and still don't want to).
And the press has never shown any interest in identifying it.
Is anything left worth standing for apart from 'profit', the unholy 'bottom line' of a man unable to grasp that value and cost are about more than money.
What you are losing cannot be bought!

“History” is integrated.
It doesn’t have to be “about” a “racial” topic - as with veterans in every war, or inventors, farmers, or anything else.

They will only ever fight for *their* vision of the country, white nationalism, and if they can't get it they will burn the country to the ground.
There. Fixed it for them.

Are we supposed to pretend that black or Hispanic or Japanese or female service members simply didn’t exist?
That they didn’t fight and die for the U.S.
It is lunacy.
If you're against inclusion, then you have to be for exclusion. If you're against diversity, you're for homogeneity. Black folks disappearing isn't a byproduct: it's the essence of anti-DEI.

If people archive the pages, the data and so forth (hell, zip it up and make a torrent to share it) - it can be restored at a later date. If they yank the only copy, it is much harder later on to make sure it's in history books.

Make America White Again.
It was so obvious from the start.
We could just call them segregationists and Nazis
What other country has honored traitors by building monuments of them and naming military installations, streets, and parks after them?
The first time someone tried this, they should have been excommunicated from society.
Benedict Arnold's statue for leading troops to victory (before being grievously wounded and turning traitor) does not use his name, but talks about his acts.

They are literally anti-inclusion
Teaching our shared history accurately is inclusion.
