    Although they are using different methods, I believe that both sides of the
    US political spectrum would look at this as a directive rather than
    something bad.

    However, the left is trying to actively erase it by destroying statutes, renaming military bases, changing laws, et cetera to hide their past. After all, the KKK was founded by white Baptists. Planned Parenthood was founded
    by a white woman who hated blacks. Hitler got his idea for "the final solution" from 1930s American progressives pushing eugenics.

    I could go on but you get the idea.

    It's said history is written by the victors.
