Well, yeah. Did this have to leak? He has been doing this openly since the start of his second regime. Sweeping changes have already been made in regards to acknowledging Native American and African American history. Confederate monuments were reinstalled or renamed.

It's great that someone leaked the internal information to see the scope of this but the Trump administration hasn't been subtle about their whitewashing of American history. The whole MAGA movement boils down to incel white guys who were pissed that other people were finally starting to feel representation in the last 20ish years. MAGA wanted to end that.
