Utah Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson has called on President Trump to restore a section honoring notable women buried at Arlington National Cemetery on the cemetery’s website, after it was removed by the administration. Henderson, a Republican, emphasized the importance of celebrating these women for their accomplishments and what they mean to society, rather than just because they are women.
Henderson’s call for the restoration of the section honoring women buried at Arlington comes as part of a broader effort by the White House to remove pages that are perceived as promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Utah itself has also passed laws against such programs and initiatives aimed at improving gender equity in the state.
Henderson has expressed hesitation in supporting policies put forward by the Republican Party, including declining to endorse President Trump before the November election. She has emphasized the importance of not sowing doubt and chaos for political gain. As Utah’s top election official, Henderson has highlighted the importance of preserving the stories and history of women like Seraph Young Ford, the first woman to legally vote in the U.S.
In her call to the White House to restore the section on notable women buried at Arlington, Henderson emphasizes the importance of recognizing and preserving the stories of these women who have made significant contributions to society. She urges President Trump to give back the stories and history of these women who deserve to be remembered.
