Trump teams wants to rewrite history by axing books on slavery

President Donald Trump’s war on U.S. history is far from over.

Thanks to an executive order, books telling the true story of slavery in the United States have reportedly been labeled as “corrosive ideology” and could soon be purged from national park bookstores.

According to The Washington Post, internal records from the Department of Interior show that books on slavery, George Washington, and the history of Native Americans are among those that have been flagged for possible removal.

Trump’s March 7 executive order, “Restoring Truth And Sanity To American History,” instructed the Smithsonian Institution and the national park system to purge materials that don’t align with conservative ideology on U.S. history, which prioritizes the views of racist white people.
