Pentagon removes web pages about Holocaust remembrance to comply with Trump DEI order

Content takedowns come as administration has made combating antisemitism a major focus

Summary

The Pentagon has removed web pages about Holocaust remembrance and other historical topics to comply with Trump’s order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal government sites.

Taken-down pages include stories of Holocaust survivors and religious tolerance, as well as content about 9/11 and veterans’ issues.

The Defense Department used automated tools to identify and delete up to 24,000 pages.

Critics argue this erases significant historical narratives, while the Pentagon defends the move as necessary to end “Woke cultural Marxism.”

    I think the reasons behind these are:

    9/11 - Muslim-related. Something Trump has targeted before, huh, imagine that. But 9/11 wasn’t all about muslims, it was just started by a terrorist group of muslims.

    Holocaust - Jewish-related. Something suggests Trump has a conflicted interest on, since he helps Israel commit more genocide, so this one is a confused subject. Is he implying that he secretly hates Jews? Or placating to the haters in his voterbase that are anti-semitic?

      I strongly suspect that it’s not because it was a genocide against jews, but rather that it was perpetrated by Nazis, and he doesn’t want to paint them in a bad light.
