The feminists behind a proposed National Women’s History Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. had scheduled a “lobby day” on May 8 to carry their campaign forward. But with the support of Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), a vote on the controversial proposal may be held as early as today, May 7, with plans to rush it through without public debate.

The urgency may stem from fears that the radical feminist orientation of the project may be exposed for the public to see.

For example, the museum’s online entry for communist feminist Bella Abzug, a former Democratic member of Congress, praises her for taking a stand against a “reactionary” part of American history.

“Specializing in labor and civil rights law,” it says of Abzug, “much of her work was pro bono defense of victims of this reactionary era”—the 1950s.

This is a reference, of course, to alleged “victims” of McCarthyism. It sounds heroic until you realize that Abzug’s FBI file disclosed her own involvement with the Communist Party, its front groups, and even Soviet officials.

While the online version whitewashes Abzug, the Heritage Foundation notes that this version of the museum ignores such conservative women as Phyllis Schlafly, Beverly LaHaye, and Jeane Kirkpatrick.

A bio for racist Planned Parenthood funder Margaret Sanger says, “More than any other single person, she originated the mindset that allowed for rational control of human population,” as if this is a positive legacy.
