The quality of the reporting on this has been disappointing, to say the least, with only the most basic understanding of what the National Archives does.
This is bigger than a little spat with a small agency.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
