Judge Reverses Trump's Racist Move




Federal District Judge Cynthia Rufe ordered the Malignant Fascist's regime to restore exhibits that depicted slavery at George Washington's home in Philadelphia.  The MF has been trying to erase the history of African Americans' bondage and absolve white supremacists of responsibility.  From Politico:

"In a withering opinion Monday, Judge Cynthia Rufe invoked George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984,” saying the administration had attacked the concept of truth itself as it sought to erase details of America’s legacy of slavery. She said the removal of the exhibits in January papered over Washington’s ownership of slaves and the special measures he took to avoid those enslaved persons gaining their liberty while he lived in Philadelphia from 1790 to 1797.

'The government here likewise asserts truth is no longer self-evident, but rather the property of the elected chief magistrate and his appointees and delegees,' the George W. Bush appointee wrote. 'And why? Solely because, as Defendants state, it has the power.'

'An agency ... cannot arbitrarily decide what is true, based on its own whims or the whims of the new leadership,' Rufe declared in her 40-page ruling issued as the nation celebrated Washington’s birthday."  (our emphasis)

In the last year, the MF has sought to white wash history to remove admissions of racism from national historical sites managed by the National Park Service, issuing an executive order last year stating that exhibits that depict the U.S. as “inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed” cause shame to the U.S., as if hiding that history wipes it away.  It's part of his regime's racist, un-American anti-DEI policies, which seek to diminish the role of diversity and equity in our society, and to replace it with white supremacy.
