GOP Cancel Culture for MoH Awardees.

That's exactly what you guys did with this absurd thread. Some liberals noticed that Rogers' page had been taken down and implied that this was a deliberate action--and you guys immediately gobbled up this nonsense and ran with it.

Many government websites are being temporarily taken down and then restored as part of the scrub to remove DEI-specific content. I work for the DoD. My department's webpages, which have nothing to do with honoring heroes from previous wars, were paused as part of the scrub and were restored within three or four days. Sound familiar?

So you think it was an accident? It takes more than a few keystrokes to update a website. Why take it down just to put it back up? That Rogers served is not DEI related. That some people are triggered by the existence of non-whites or females is real. Why do you think that Roger's page was restored only after people commented on it? It does not take several days to change a few words on a website.

Pages about minorities had to be taken down immediately to avoid the risk of triggering snowflakes who might faint dead away if they read the unpatriotic and fake suggestion that racism used to be a problem which had to be addressed.

Only after each page was examined and all references to such wicked lies deleted could they be marked as safe to be considered for eventual republishing.
 
to me i think the most disturbing part of it is it's not just a performative promise to con rubes into supporting them so they can enact a completely different agenda. that's what things like fixing healthcare or creating jobs is to them, and they say they'll do things like that so they can really try and erase black people from history. and if i'm being honest, i would be way more ok with them tricking racists into voting for them to fix healthcare instead.
 
More mistakes . . .

Books on the Holocaust, histories of feminism, civil rights and racism, and Maya Angelou's famous autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," were among the nearly 400 volumes removed from the U.S. Naval Academy's library this week after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's office ordered the school to get rid of ones that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
The Navy late Friday provided the list of 381 books that have been taken out of its library. The move marks another step in the Trump administration's far-reaching effort to purge so-called DEI content from federal agencies, including policies, programs, online and social media postings and curriculum at schools.

In addition to Angelou's award-winning tome, the list includes "Memorializing the Holocaust," which deals with Holocaust memorials; "Half American," about African Americans in World War II; "A Respectable Woman," about the public roles of African American women in 19th century New York; and "Pursuing Trayvon Martin," about the 2012 shooting of the Black 17-year-old in Florida that raised questions about racial profiling.

Other books clearly deal with subjects that have been stridently targeted by the Trump administration, including gender identity, sexuality and transgender issues. A wide array of books on race and gender were targeted, dealing with such topics as African American women poets, entertainers who wore blackface and the treatment of women in Islamic countries.

Also on the list were historical books on racism, the Ku Klux Klan and the treatment of women, gender and race in art and literature.

More "mistakes," tangentally related.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Another one.

Patriotism runs deep in this South Texas town nestled just along the border with Mexico. American flags fly outside many businesses. Pictures of veterans adorn light poles and traffic signal boxes. And a giant mural inside a popular grocery store depicts a hero you can’t help but notice: Alfredo “Freddy” González.

González was a United States Marine Corps sergeant from Edinburg, Texas, who joined the military in the late 1960s and was killed in action during the Vietnam War. In this southernmost region of Texas, known as the Rio Grande Valley, he is the namesake of a main thoroughfare, a park and an elementary school. Outside this area, his name has graced a US Navy warship for 30 years and, until recently, he had been featured among Hispanic veterans on the Naval History and Heritage Command website.

Like González’s contributions, those made by women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color and historical figures are at the center of the Trump administration’s purge of diversity, equity and inclusion-related content from government websites.

Some content on the Naval History and Heritage Command website has been “moved to align with Department of Defense guidance and recent Executive Orders,” a spokesperson for the command told CNN earlier this month.
“This is a grave disrespect to Sgt. González’s memory and a punch to the gut for South Texas and all of our service members.Has the President no shame?,” Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas said in a statement last month about Gonzalez’s removal from a section on the website highlighting Hispanic veterans.

While González’s name and contributions may have been removed from some digital realms, in the physical world – most importantly in Edinburg – community members inspired by his mother, fellow veterans and students are keeping his legacy alive.

No, he doesn't. Duh.
 
I'm sure the trumpkins who reassured us that the previous incidents were just honest mistakes have a rational explanation for this, too. While secretly rubbing their hands at the achievements of gay and brown people being erased.
Any second now.

Oh, and I wonder how many of the yuge patriots in this southern TX town voted for Dump.

Does the Trump Administration believe in free speech or its own version of compelled speech and cancel culture?
