Leaked Interior Department database reveals US plans to revise historical information

This is total white supremacy Christian nationalism and an attempt to both roll back all civil rights of minorities and project a fake white Christians were the only good people in the country mentality.  Propaganda in other words to support fragile white men’s egos and prop up declining church attendance.  This is driven by people who don’t want to share the country equally with others but want everything for their group only.  They want to remove an entire group of people from society, the LGBTQ+ community and go back to the pre1960s civil rights for nonwhites.  Hugs
An internal government database first reported, by the Washington Post and posted on two public on Monday revealed the scope of the Trump administration’s ​effort to revise or remove information on African-American history, LGBT rights, ​climate change and other topics at hundreds of national park ⁠sites.
“The narrative being advanced is false and these draft, deliberative internal ​documents are not a representation of final action taken by the department,” ​an Interior Department spokesperson said. The National Park Service is part of the Interior Department.

The U.S. Interior Department said a database revealing how President Donald Trump’s administration planned to revise information on key phases of ​American history at national park sites was deliberative and the employees ‌who released it “will be held accountable.”
An internal government database first reported, by the Washington Post and posted on two public on Monday revealed the scope of the Trump administration’s ​effort to revise or remove information on African-American history, LGBT rights, ​climate change and other topics at hundreds of national park ⁠sites.
“The narrative being advanced is false and these draft, deliberative internal ​documents are not a representation of final action taken by the department,” ​an Interior Department spokesperson said. The National Park Service is part of the Interior Department.
Trump has targeted cultural and historical institutions – from museums to monuments to national ​parks – to remove what he calls “anti-American” ideology.
His declarations and executive orders have ​led to the dismantling of exhibits on slavery, the restoration of Confederate statues and other ‌moves ⁠that civil rights advocates say could reverse decades of progress.
The Interior Department spokesperson alleged the internal working documents were edited in a misrepresenting way before being released. The spokesperson also labeled the release as inappropriate and ​illegal, without specifying the ​law it ⁠allegedly violated.
“Employees who altered internal records and leaked in an effort to hurt the Trump administration will be held ​accountable,” the spokesperson added.
The Trump administration has sought to stifle internal ​dissent within ⁠government agencies and taken action against employees who have criticized its policies.
Last year, some employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency were put on leave ⁠after they ​signed an open letter against the agency’s ​leadership, while some Environmental Protection Agency employees were fired after they signed a letter critical of ​the government’s actions.

    1. Hi taurusingemini. I do not think the tRump administration will succeed in changing the truth / reality of history. Far too many people already remember it and are invested in making sure it survives. They have at most three more years to do this stuff and then it will be changed back. Text books will still have the correct information in them. I would think that there are enough teachers in blue states and even some red states that will not forget the truth and will start teaching it again as soon as the threat of tRump people is gone. tRump is not pushing this on his own. He is being pushed into this by white supremacists and Christian nationalists. They won’t be in charge long after tRump is removed. Even if the republicans in the red states try to keep the erasing of history going they will find a hidden network of people trying to keep the truth alive until history is again taught correctly.

    1. Hi Michael. That is the truth. But I don’t see these attempts at history white washing and erasing the contributions of women along with the LGBTQ+. I never understood the need to rewrite history when it is so well documented worldwide that changing one plaque at a monument won’t change the truth about what happened. Plus this constant need to push how great white males were about everything and that the US as a whole only did great wonderful things shows complete insecurity. How fragile are these white alpha males wannabes? Hugs
