Shitstain Directs National Park Gift Shops To Remove Items With "Anti-American" Content

[hatrack]

Trump officials have directed staff at national parks to review all items in gift shops for anti-American content, according to an internal directive reviewed by The Washington Post. The move is part of the administration’s wider campaign to scrub federal institutions of “corrosive ideology” recognizing historic racism and sexism.

The directive instructs park staff to report by Friday any retail items that have content that “inappropriately disparages Americans past or living” or that includes “matters unrelated to the beauty, abundance or grandeur” of a natural feature in its description.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order in March seeking to reshape how American history is told at federal institutions including parks and the Smithsonian museums, blaming former president Joe Biden for casting historic U.S. milestones in a negative light. That order spurred an initiative asking national park visitors to report anti-American signs, which instead drew positive comments in support of the parks and criticisms of Trump officials for staff and budget cuts, according to a Post review of leaked comments.

Park advocacy groups say they are concerned that the Trump administration is attempting to sanitize American history. “It’d be a shame to pull an actual historical accounting and a well-researched book off the shelves,” said Kristen Brengel, senior vice president of government affairs at the National Parks Conservation Association, an advocacy group.

2. Just saw a documentary on Tennessee

They spoke about Dollywood with the same ease they talked about removing the Indians off their land. History is a hard subject for this country. It will not be willed away.

6. Does this make any sense?

I have not been to a park for a bunch of years. I always felt like there was a large part of "the wonderful USA" in it all. It did not bother me much because we were taking good care of it all and the parks etc. were lovely.

How can we prove that we are right and strong and godly and kind and smart and cool and the ones to follow etc..... .If we cannot talk about all the other bad guys?

This is as dumb as all his wise ideas. Leave us something without your vile need to be proven........what? Cool? Strong? Great?
