#NationalPark gift shops directed to remove items that ‘disparage Americans’

#Trump officials have directed staff at #NationalParks 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 historical #racism & #sexism.

I send thanks to the buyer from Ohio who purchased a jigsaw puzzle of

Blue Depths -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/blue-depths-steve-henderson.html?product=puzzle

May the puzzle be challenging yet fun, and may the image take you to a quiet, majestic place of timeless beauty.

The @datarescueproject.org needs our help preserving American history.

"Real history is not just happy stories. But the Secretary of the Interior is asking Americans to report signs in the Parks that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.”

Join our effort to build a community archive of the signs, exhibits, and texts that could soon disappear from our national parks."
