More #history removed from #US Govt websites

This time, the famous #NavajoCodeTalkers

The #Dine created a code from their language #DineBizaad. Throughout the Pacific Theatre of #WWII they were crucial for communications: #ImperialJapan had no way to understand what they were saying

And now the #bigotry in charge has blotted their contributions

Their webpages are now 404, and the URL renamed with "#DEI"

This stupidity and hate will not end. And will turn worse
