The Biden administration’s obsession with “gender inclusivity” has reached the level of farce with its decision to drop the Abraham Lincoln quote that for decades has served as the motto of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
To these woke obsessives, history and tradition don’t matter, nor do great intentions, nor do associations with a man of noble character and his noble cause. All that matters are bland nods to the newest version of the lowest common denominator of performative inclusivity.
But apparently, that wasn’t enough. Apparently, mentioning a “widow” without mentioning a “widower” is sexist… or something. Perhaps one in a gazillion people might, bygosh, take offense at the very notion that combat once was thought to be almost exclusively the province of men. Which it was. That’s just history, and it is history that denigrates nobody.
How anodyne. How pathetically lacking in euphony. Not to mention lacking in history, tradition, and depth of meaning. To mention Lincoln without quoting him is like using his name as a decorative but fading appendage. Imagine if the British memorialized something by saying “in Churchill’s tradition of fighting everywhere at once” rather than quoting Churchill’s actual, stirring promise that “we shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds.
