Administration Ordered To Reverse National Park Changes

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore sites changed under an executive order that sought to eliminate “inappropriate content” at national museums, parks and landmarks. U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley’s ruling on Friday also ordered the government to pause any additional changes and to submit status reports on restoring the changes. The order comes in response to a lawsuit by conservation and historical organizations over National Park Service policies. Many changes occurred at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park, including removing exhibits on enslaved people. President Donald Trump signed the executive order “restoring truth and sanity to American history” at the nation’s museums, parks and landmarks last year.
