Trump wants you to snitch on national parks

What do you look for when you go to a national park? The grandeur of nature? A sense of deep connection? A pride that America preserves these public spaces?

How about if, instead of those things, you got to read signage urging you to report anything in the park that you think makes America look bad? Because that’s what you’re getting.

The Trump administration has ordered the National Park Service to post signs in every park to encourage public feedback on the parks’ presentations of American history, including a QR code so that it is super easy for racists to complain. Because that is what this is really about.

A sign for the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, which was leaked to NPR, says park visitors should identify “any signs or other information that are negative about either past or living Americans or that fail to emphasize the beauty, grandeur, and abundance of landscapes and other natural features.”

As far as I'm concerned Trump should climb the tallest tree in the Olympic National Park and shove it up his ass.
