But yeah, if this becomes a big story across a lot of media, maybe it's as a distraction. However the other side of this argument is that this move could turn out to be an opening salvo in a nefarious war i.e. it's a logical precursor to some scarier things. It's trying to dehumanize AA people by erasing their contributions and accomplishments. May not be long before no federally funded school can even mention the word 'slavery' in a classroom, and proceed downhill from there.

Also I do think it's important for the AA folks who voted for Trump to see this, and the story of how Trump has de-fanged the Civil Rights division of the DoJ. I think it's important for them to discover that this is what they voted for. The erasure of Black History.
