Apparently we need interpretive dance and trigger warnings in the building housing the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence, according to a report recently filed by the national archives and reported on by Fox News:
Additionally, the report categorized the National Archives’ Rotunda as another example of “structural racism” as it “lauds wealthy White men in the nation’s founding while marginalizing BIPOC [Black, Indigenous and other People of Color], women, and other communities.”
The task force suggests ways to “reimagine the Rotunda,” including staging “dance or performance art in the space that invites dialogue about the ways that the United States has mythologized the founding era.”
The report also called for “trigger warnings” to be put in place with historical content to “forewarn audiences of content that may cause intense physiological and psychological symptoms.”
“Providing an advisory notice to users gives us an opportunity to mitigate harm and contextualize the records,” the report reads. “It creates a space to share with the public our ultimate goals for reparative description, demonstrate our commitment to the process, and address any barriers that we may face in achieving these goals (i.e., the size and scope of the Catalog and the ever-evolving knowledge we gain regarding what is harmful).”
Now we need “to contextualize the records” and to have “reparative description” because the founding fathers were just a bunch of “wealthy white men?” And we’re going to fix all that by interpretive dance?
Little wonder why there is a backlash against the goofy left in this country.
Past high school age, the outlets and opportunities for dancers are *ahem* scant and in some cases very sad.
Sigh. Just the usual vapid bigotry from the woke crowd. We’re now too stupid to survive as a free nation.
Distract away PP, nothing you do will remove the stink of your corrupt time in office.
The more obvious attempt at distraction would be the above comment.
Corrupt? You must be one of the hyper-sensitive children who need their hand held every day of their lives. Grow up and get over yourself, little one.
Well there goes another one; dumbing down another DC tourist attraction to the level of a kindergarten class.
If you haven’t visited our nation’s capital lately you might not be aware of how bad it is.
Apparently too many of the attractions were going over the heads of the visitors and one by one they are being converted to children’s museums. The tour of the capital building, with a really silly cartoon about how a bill becomes a law, and the inane commentary from the tour guide, are so bad they should be considered an embarrassment. Some of the Smithsonian exhibits, like the model grocery store, are right out of a children’s museum. They have an entire exhibit devoted to the subject of “how to buy a car.”
A better solution for the national archives would be to require visitors to be at least 18 years of age and sign a waiver of liability before entering.
As dark as it is in there (prevents fading of the documents) you can barely read anything anyway. Don’t take your kids there.
This is what happens when the lunatics run the asylum. The hyper-sensitivity being coddled by the left is simply stupid and juvenile. If this country is so bad then move out instead of making it a place not fit to live in. Just go to whatever country you think is sooooooo much better than America and I doubt if we will miss you.
