Based upon whom Trump appointed to his 1776 Commission, the report which they issued today reads like a guide to the American conservative mind.
I don't think it necessarily needs to be deleted and forgotten.
Perhaps just properly disclaimed as the narrow point of view of the people who authored it, and not as some official perspective of the United States government.

(7,512 posts)I figured them as a fake out about 64 years ago. Have seen nothing that makes me think otherwise since then.

(33,400 posts)Today, far from a regime of equal natural rights for equal
citizens, enforced by the equal application of law,
we have moved toward a system of explicit group
privilege that, in the name of social justice, demands
equal results and explicitly sorts citizens into protected
classes based on race and other demographic
categories.
Eventually this regime of formal inequality would come
to be known as identity politics. The stepchild of
earlier rejections of the founding, identity politics
(discussed in Appendix III) values people by
characteristics like race, sex, and sexual orientation and
holds that new times demand new rights to replace the
old. This is the opposite of Kings hope that his
children would live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the color of their skin but by the content of
their character, and denies that all are endowed with
the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
Identity politics makes it less likely that racial
reconciliation and healing can be attained by pursuing
Martin Luther King, Jr.s dream for America and
upholding the highest ideals of our Constitution and our
Declaration of Independence.
