The National Archives has gone woke and turned on American history
American Thinker ^ | 28 Jun, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

A task force surely composed of college graduates (aka Marxists) has attacked America’s Founders, ideas, and architecture.

The National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”), unofficially founded along with America but officially founded in 1934, exists to preserve historic American records and document government activities. Sadly, it’s currently staffed with hardcore Marxists who hate America, both its history and its current configuration. That is the only conclusion one can draw from an NARA task force report saying that NARA, is structurally racist, from the reverence shown for those who created this nation to the architecture of the classical NARA building.

Here’s the story from Fox News:

The task force claims that structural racism “unequivocally impacts” how National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) employees interact with each other, customers and the historical records themselves.

Some examples of “structural racism” were provided in the summary of the report, including “legacy descriptions that use racial slurs and harmful language to describe BIPOC communities,” which includes actual racial slurs alongside terms such as “elderly,” “handicapped” and “illegal alien.”

Additionally, the report categorized the National Archives’ Rotunda as another example of “structural racism” as it “lauds wealthy White men in the nation’s founding while marginalizing BIPOC [Black, Indigenous and other People of Color], women, and other communities.”

Saw this yesterday.

Downloaded the report, which I have yet to read.

How sad. I remember how NARA slipped under the radar with Clinton and Obama.

Unless something happens to change the direction we’re headed, I fully expect the Marxists to have a public burning ceremony of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Perhaps in 5 to 10 years we will see this.

Could see this coming for some time. 2013 Edict: “NARA does not permit harassment in its facilities or services.
NARA’s anti-harassment policy is intended to prevent
harassment and to correct harassing behavior before it
becomes severe or pervasive. This policy covers
broader conduct than what is covered by the EEO system. It includes hostile or abusive conduct based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), genetic information, sexual orientation, national origin, age (40 or older), disability (mental or physical), marital status, political affiliation, status as a parent, retaliation, or any other reason.
This policy applies to all NARA employees, others acting on NARA’s behalf (such as volunteers, contractors, and interns), and people interacting with or using NARA’s
services.”
