WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Interior Department said a database revealing how President Donald Trump's administration planned to revise information on key phases of ​American history at national park sites was deliberative and the employees ‌who released it "will be held accountable."

An internal government database first reported, opens new tab by the Washington Post and posted on two public websites, on Monday revealed the scope of the Trump administration's ​effort to revise or remove information on African-American history, LGBT rights, ​climate change and other topics at hundreds of national park ⁠sites.

"The narrative being advanced is false and these draft, deliberative internal ​documents are not a representation of final action taken by the department," ​an Interior Department spokesperson said. The National Park Service is part of the Interior Department. Trump has targeted cultural and historical institutions - from museums to monuments to national ​parks - to remove what he calls "anti-American" ideology.

His declarations and executive orders have ​led to the dismantling of exhibits on slavery, the restoration of Confederate statues and other ‌moves ⁠that civil rights advocates say could reverse decades of progress.

4. It is a huge attempt to devise American History to conform with the MAGA narrative. The Post had an excellent

article yesterday about a team of volunteers who have been photographing EVERY Smithsonian display and accompanying explanatory text. This needs to be done in federal museum, park, and any other institution or display that has documented American history.
