Sending prayers. Having taught Navajo children many years ago, seeing the Code Talkers walk in the annual Intertribal parade, and realizing they saved us in WWII –I am horrified at the erasure of this awesome contribution. It looks like old fashioned prejudice to me (I'm almost 80).Prejudice coming from a certain house on Pennsylvania Avenue. Thanks for speaking out.

Felon Trump is pure evil. This is such a stupid move; it is in my opinion totally racists. Felon Trump and his swamp want this to be a totally White race, they are afraid because they are losing numbers with more people coming from different cultures and races,
