  • Donald Trump has been branded "cruel and petty" for a change to a historical US monument which has had the effect of "erasing history" according to some.

The article from news.com.au discusses a controversial decision by former U.S. President Donald Trump to remove the words "diversity," "equity," and "inclusion" from the mission statement of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This move was part of a broader effort to eliminate what was described as "politically correct" language from government documents. Critics labeled the action as "cruel and petty," arguing that it undermines efforts to address systemic inequalities within health services. The decision was met with significant backlash from civil rights groups, health professionals, and Democrats, who see these terms as essential for promoting fairness and representation in public health policy. The article highlights the ongoing debate over language in policy-making and its implications for marginalized communities.
