…The administration’s removals to date have included stripping information about climate change, slavery, the civil rights movement, and the mistreatment of Native Americans from national park sites, according to court filings from the National Parks Conservation Association. NPCA sued the Interior Department this month over its decision to remove content from park sites.
The organization said in the suit that the content removals “erase the history of countless people and communities from public spaces” and “limit the availability of scientific information relevant to ensuring the long-term preservation of the parks themselves."
“…we can’t talk about times in American history where people in power hurt other people. We can’t talk about times in American history where people’s civil rights were violated…”
…In at least one report, a park service employee suggested the administration review a sign and possibly change it even though they acknowledged changes could run afoul of legal requirements.
“Text addresses slavery as the primary cause of the American Civil War,” the report from a staff member at Stones River National Battlefield in Tennessee said. “This is both historically correct and legislatively mandated but we ask for further review to confirm it is aligned with SO 3431.”…
I sure hope all these things are being kept somewhere so that if sanity is ever restored by having a Democratic administration, they put all this back up in like one day or one week, and broadcast that fact very prominently.
“While these statements are historically accurate and supported by firsthand accounts, they may be perceived as disparaging by individuals who are less familiar with the history of the Civil Rights Movement,” staff at the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail wrote in at least 15 reports flagging exhibits at the site.
“The signs are true but may hurt the feelings of ignorant racists, so we’re taking them down.” Pandering to the most ignorant bigots because they’re in charge of the country. Very sad.
The “fuck your feelings” crowd are the biggest goddamn babies.
Yep. The right loves to pride themselves on being rational (lol) and the other side as being “emotional”, but these are the same morons that cannot stand to come up against an idea that offends them.
Ironically, they also whine about being “cancelled” but cheer having this corrupt administration police and/or shut down school content, park signs, and late night comedy shows.
