A “racism task force” charged with updating the National Archives — home of the nation’s founding documents — reportedly blasted the term used to characterize the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, “Charters of Freedom,” because the documents did not immediately guarantee freedom for everyone.
According to Fox News, which obtained a recording of one of the task force’s meetings through the Freedom of Information Act, members of the task force decried the term “charters of freedom” and demanded that the nation’s founding documents be relabeled on the website and the slogan removed from the documents’ physical display in the National Archives Rotunda.
“Approximately 800 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) employees from across the country attended a town hall meeting of the Archives’ Task Force on Racism on May 11,” Fox News noted. “During the presentation, a museum subgroup recommended that NARA ‘retire’ the term ‘charters of freedom’ as descriptors for the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.”
“We should retire the term charters of freedom and remove it from our web pages, publications and exhibits because, as we learned, these documents did not result in freedom for everyone,” one task force member is recorded as saying.

Go live under the tyrannical governments of Iran, China, Russia, Syria, North Korea, Argentina, Cuba or any of the other vast dictatorial communist third world sewers. Freedom of choice and God given rights are not in the lexicons of the citizens. The misinformed, uninformed, racial biased( black, white, brown, red and yellow and religious intolerant) anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-Buddhist, anti whatever are the self centered pseudo intellectuals are attempting to assassinate our constitutional freedoms. Mental midgets all. Fortunately the majority of freedom loving patriotic Americans will not permit them to be successful.
Try to find a better country to live in- just try! If not, stop tearing down the greatest one ever!!
They are completely correct, the only people with real freedom were rich white men, mainly because if you di not own land you were not a man, and rarely had any rights. in actuality it took until 1964 for Blacks to have even basic educational rights.
