What history is being "erased" and how is it supposedly being done? Refusing to glorify the ugly parts of our country's history (treason from some states and those who led it) with monuments/statues/plaques/etc., is far from erasing history and is in fact simply shining a bright light on it - so that we can learn and not repeat those abhorrent mistakes.
Book banning and the refusal to discuss real race history, are much more of a threat to this country ever reaching its full potential and promise of equality.

Good thing that's not being done, either...
What you call "book banning" is making sure YOUNG CHILDREN are not exposed to hyper-sexualized books.

The real problem for so many, is that factual history is being revealed/disseminated to more and more people and that is outrageous to them. For instance, how many had been taught, or knew, of the Tulsa Race Massacre - until recent years?

I did. As did most anyone who paid attention in history class...

Be assured, that the outrage of changing the name of the largest bedroom in a house to 'owner's suite/primary bedroom' is not a coincidence that it's coming from whites - who would have been historically considered...'The Master's.'

Your attempt to call those disagree with the constant barrage from the "language police" as outraged (which is ridiculous) and as racists is noted.
