Canaparo: American Battle Monuments Commission's chief diversity officer is now on administrative leave

President Trump ordered all federal agencies to terminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

The American Battle Monuments Commission appeared to disobey that order until it came under scrutiny.

The commission is an executive-branch agency that maintains American battlefields, monuments, and military cemeteries overseas.

After Heritage Foundation inquired about whether the order had been followed, the agency said it was complying.

They should not be politicians or people who chase political favors, but duty- and honor-bound servants of the people who care about seeing that the commission’s work lasts forever. The American Battle Monuments Commission does extraordinary work honoring the men and women who fought and died for America overseas. It should be singularly focused on that unifying mission.
