If there’s anything more absurd than the Trump administration’s cheerleading for hateful policies on matters of race and gender, it’s the ineptitude behind it.
The people implementing these policies are so mean-spirited and clueless that, as Associated Press reported last week, they’re erasing thousands of images from Defense Department websites that honored heroes who were people of color and LGBTQ+. The purge is so crude and just plain dumb, that it targeted the crewmen of the Enola Gay — the iconic World War II bomber that helped end the war. Apparently, even the name “Gay” is now forbidden.
In another ridiculous move, the National Park Service removed a webpage honoring a human rights leader who grew up in Durham and who was the first Black person to earn a doctorate from Yale Law School — the Rev. Pauli Murray — because, perish the thought, Murray was trans.
The bottom line: It’s hard to know what’s more embarrassing for the nation, the cruel ignorance of the Trump administration’s actions or its pathetic incompetence in carrying them out.
