It cannot be overstated how dangerous this is, especially for kids in states that want to wash away history and undo the stories of minority peoples in this country and/or kids in states that use the bible as a guidepost when it comes to public education.

Articles about the Holocaust, September 11, cancer awareness, sexual assault and suicide prevention are among the tens of thousands either removed or flagged for removal from Pentagon websites to comply with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s order to scrub “diversity” content from its platforms.

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."
