ICYMI: America Rising Uncovers National Archives’ Latest Attempt to Rewrite American History

America Rising’s Cassie Smedile joins Fox & Friends to discuss National Archives’ plans to place trigger warnings on America’s founding documents.

In case you missed it, America Rising uncovered a report from the National Archives’ task force on racism labeling the Archives’ own rotunda as “structural racism” and calling for “trigger warnings” to be placed on historical content.

Fox News: “The National Archives’ task force on racism claimed in a little-noticed report to the U.S.’s top librarian that the Archives’ own Rotunda – which houses the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights – is an example of ‘structural racism’ and that the Founding Fathers and other White, historically impactful Americans are portrayed too positively.”

New York Post: “The report also called for ‘trigger warnings’ to be put in place with historical content to ‘forewarn audiences of content that may cause intense physiological and psychological symptoms.’”

National Review: “The report also recommends a change to language on OurDocuments.gov to be less celebratory of historical figures such as former President Thomas Jefferson.

“‘OurDocuments.gov features transcripts and historical context of ‘100 milestone documents of American history’ but often uses adulatory and excessive language to document the historical contributions of White, wealthy men,’ the report says.”

The Daily Wire: “The committee also suggested the National Archives add ‘safe spaces’ where visitors having difficulties could take a time out and process the information.”

Cassie Smedile, Executive Director at America Rising PAC: “This is the radical Left’s latest attempt to sow division and rewrite history. No institution, agency or classroom is off limits. The American people deserve to know of the radical Left’s schemes, and we’ll continue to expose them.”
