   National Archives Slaps 'Harmful Content

   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   presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly   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   of American heritage, noted that so-called harmful historical documents   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.
