National Archives Slaps ?Harmful Content? Warning On Constitution

National Archives Slaps 'Harmful Content' Warning On Constitution, All Other Founding Documents (https://thefederalist.com/2021/09/08/national-archives-issues-harmful-content-warning-on-constitution-all-other-founding-documents/)

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 (https://catalog.archives.gov/), 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 "As a result, some of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions.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 hardest part for me to take in this, is that I'm not surprised how depraved our government is becoming.

They are "difficult to view". How does anyone make sense of the scribbling?

[Gman]

Is that an "f" or an "s"? Why isn't this written in 'murican?

It's For Fucks Sake, so its all three.

Marking the Founding documents as having "harmful content" can help steer people away from wanting to read them, reduce/eliminate their being taught in schools and give cause to "rewrite" them with more modern societal views (translated: eliminate Rights and protections currently guaranteed).

All part of the plan to "fundamentally change" this nation, all under the guise of protecting us and making for a more accepting society.

I wish I knew the authenticity of the "Majestic 12" documents. The FBI declares them to be fake. Supposedly this document came from the National Archives.

And a heart felt “Fuck You” to the National Archives.

Sadly yes. People, with no thinking, think they have a clue.

It will also make it a forbidden fruit that will make people want to read it.

[Irving]

I mean, people read Mein Kamph of however you spell it, and I think a lot of them do it because it's taboo.

Just something written by old, dead, white guys... Couldn't possibly have any relevance in this age of enlightened wokeness.

Who ever knew that PC had higher levels. I'm concerned about the next level after Woke.....like this one isn't 1000 times worse than PC.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Like a shit sandwich, but with some monkey jizz on it now.

I fear the next ingredient.

Biden, Harris, Idi Amin, Levine, Blinken, Garland, and Cohen could all drive over to the archives tomorrow, hold a televised live press conference, pull out a Bible, the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and an American flag and set them all on fire and cook some Smores and all Beef hotdogs over the pyre and Americans would still go to work, pay taxes, and ask each other on their Union breaks if they had seen last nights sport game on the Tell-A-Vision.
The news media would proudly and breathlessly declare that in one singular mostly peaceful event the evils of Xenophobia, Homophobia, Bigotry, Racism, and Facism were all defeated in a day, isnt freedom great!

We are in some serious fucking trouble under this administration for multiple reasons in bad ways.

One of my biggest concerns is that our adversaries will never have to go to war with us again,...because we will eat ourselves from the inside out without a shot fired running stuff this way. They can just sit back and watch the disintegration.

They are not watching. They are helping to pull a few strings to arrive at that exact end result, and its working.

I first heard about the warning on the Constitution when this thread was started. I didn't follow it too closely though. Yesterday, I heard more about the warning again on the radio. Seemed like a lot of false indignation. One person spoke up and said that the warning was just something that was put on everything in the National Archives. Kind of of in one ear, put the other. But, last night, I was trying to do some research regarding a great uncle who had been shot down over Belgium in WWII. I eventually ended up at the National Archives website. There, at the top of the page, was the warning.

There's probably something profound about having to warn people about what they may find when they go poking into their history. I hope Irving is correct and people start looking into the past on their own rather than reading it second hand or however later from somebody who either doesn't know or wants to change interpretations.
