Greg Bach takes a closer look at the Trump administration’s controversial efforts to reshape how American history is presented — from the removal of the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument to changes at Independence Park that critics say downplay the history of slavery. Supporters call it a move to “restore truth and sanity.”

Greg and his producer, Dom, dig into what this means — not just politically, but culturally. They talk about how different generations understand history, why some stories feel newly visible while others feel pushed aside, and why it matters that young people learn to question how history is framed, not just memorize it.
