Efforts to change society, particularly "righting" perceived historical wrongs is politics. That's not a value judgement as "politics" normally is, that's just what the word means. If you're removing or editing content based on this then it's politically motivated censorship, again that's not a value judgement, although censorship certainly has a negative connotation, it's just what these words mean in common parlance.
It's fine to feel that people should be politically censored, hopefully we can at least agree on the meanings of these words though.
