Veteran state Sen. Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) fails to see the sense in National Archives officials moving to stamp warning labels on some of the country’s most distinguished documents.

“Enough is enough. A trigger warning on the Constitution?” Rose recently posted on Twitter. “Who the hell do these idiots think they are?”

The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights are other founding documents also earning the warning. The changes come just months after a National Archives task force found the historical documents portrayal of the founding father was “too positive,” according to Reclaim the Net, and are viewed as part of the establishment's “institutional commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.”

Rose isn’t the only one expressing outrage.

"Cancel culture’s latest target is the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, Rep. Ben Cline (R-Va.), tweeted. "It’s absurd that the National Archives would put a trigger warning on our founding documents and label them 'harmful content.' My colleagues and I demanded they stop doing so immediately," 

Archive officials stress they are only flagging material viewed as “potentially harmful,” with staffers defining that as “discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more.”

The same treatment is being administered for content viewed as supporting “racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes.”
