      XPost: alt.history, alt.politics.usa.constitution, talk.politics.guns       XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.politics.trump, sac.politics       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              The National Archives issued a blanket ‘warning’ on cataloged documents,       cautioning readers against ‘racist, sexist, misogynistic, and xenophobic       opinions.’              The National Archives Records Administration placed a “harmful content”       warning on the Constitution, labeling the governing document of the United       States as “harmful or difficult to view.” The warning applies to all       documents across the Archives’ cataloged website, including the Bill of       Rights and the Declaration of Independence.              “NARA’s records span the history of the United States, and it is our       charge to preserve and make available these historical records,” the       administration said in a statement. “As a result, some of the materials       presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly       violent views and opinions. In addition, some of the materials may relate       to violent or graphic events and are preserved for their historical       significance.”              The NARA, which is responsible for preserving and protecting documentation       of American heritage, noted that so-called harmful historical documents       could “reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and       xenophobic opinions and attitudes; be discriminatory towards or exclude       diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more,” and “include       graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical       procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and more.”              Along with committing to diversity and equity, the NARA said it would       “[work] in conjunction with diverse communities, [and] seek to balance the       preservation of this history with sensitivity to how these materials are       presented to and perceived by users.”              This isn’t the first time the National Archives has catered to a leftist       view of history. In June, the National Archives’ racism task force claimed       that the Archives’ rotunda, which houses founding documents, is an example       of “structural racism.” The task force also pushed to include trigger       warnings around displays of the Declaration of Independence, the       Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, which are all in the rotunda.              The warning is a blanket statement atop all documents in the archived       catalogs that links to a “Statement on Potentially Harmful Content.”              As news of the website’s warning circulated on Twitter, the NARA issued a       standard response to those concerned by the “harmful” label on the       Constitution.              Tom Kattman       ·       Sep 7, 2021       @TomKattman       ·       Follow       Replying to @AgnesClaire       Dear @USNatArchives - this https://toddstarnes.com/values/national-       archives-slaps-harmful-language-alert-on-u-s-       constitution/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=todd-starnes-       newsletter&utm_campaign=daily&utm_content=firefly seems a bit dense.
