FIRST ON FOX: Members of the National Archives' task force on racism have recommended removing the "charters of freedom" description for America’s founding documents, such as the Constitution, arguing that it did not initially grant freedom for all individuals.
Approximately 800 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) employees from across the country attended a town hall meeting of the Archives’ Task Force on Racism on May 11, according to FOIA documents obtained by America Rising and shared with Fox News.
During the presentation, a museum subgroup recommended that NARA "retire" the term "charters of freedom" as descriptors for the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.
"We should retire the term charters of freedom and remove it from our web pages, publications and exhibits because, as we learned, these documents did not result in freedom for everyone," said one presenter, whose name was redacted.
Another presenter of the same museum subgroup, whose name was also redacted, said members were tasked with recommending policies and procedures that "ensure that everyone feels welcomed, included and represented at our museums and presidential libraries."

Perhaps the Task force needs to personally test out the archival chamber atmosphere?
This is more dangerous than it seems on the surface. They’ll redefine these documents as racist and suggest replacements.
There it is, because they can.
The Left’s Willy Wonka Golden Ticket to all their dreams...racism!
I wonder if these people wear gorilla masks and throw eggs at people when they are not working for the Task Force.
It’s time to haul these treasonous scum out and tar and feather them.
They are going to destroy documents that go against the narrative. They don’t say this, but you know it’s coming.
How does America survive an internal government attack on its most foundational documents?
Its a bit like in 1989 when Gorbachev said Marxism was full of errors.
If the elites of a country deny their own founding principles, what do you think comes next?
“They’ll redefine these documents as racist and suggest replacements.”
They will demand replacements.
Later, they will just announce that replacements have already been installed. If Joe is still around, it will be done in his name; otherwise by someone you never heard of before.
Hope that your arrest is not announced at the same time.

History must be erased for not being perfect. They going to remove all references to Africa and the ME where slavery started and continues to this day?
Sounds the whole team should be sent on a Fact Finding Mission to Afghanistan on Freedom and Rights.
We can’t live with these people. It’s going to come down to us or them
It’s astounding to see how far the cancer of “Progressive” fascistic thought-control racial obsession has infected the culture, but in her great book “the Burden of Bad Ideas”, published way back in 2000, Heather MacDonald outlined how badly critical race theory and the rest had already taken root in such groups as our law schools, schools of education, and the Smithsonian Institution - the rot we’re seeing now has been growing for a long time...... -
People who do this kind of thing for a living at all levels are among the most woke, politically correct, militant Leftists that exist.
They wield enormous power, and people like them that engage in related fields such as those that review textbook content are as virulently Leftist as they come.
The documents are still Charters of Freedom even if there were groups that were not included in the modern definition of freedom. At the time women could not vote or own property except in their husband’s or another male family member’s name. They would still consider themselves to be free in the sense that they were no longer subjects of a king. This is the historic principle that was put forth by the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal.
The Constitution also provided a process that allowed for its amendment to correct its deficiencies as our human sensibilities improved. It contained the seeds of freedom for all even if the country wasn’t quite ready for it at the time it was adopted. Judging the behavior of people in the past by today’s moral understandings is an impossibility and a favorite trick of the left.
Suck off NARA
I served in the U.S. Navy. When sworn in, I took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Although that was long ago and I’m old now, I still take that oath very, very seriously. Just saying...
