The Interior Department has ordered national parks to review and remove gift shop items related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

This directive is part of a broader effort to keep park gift shops as “neutral spaces that serve all visitors.”

The order follows executive actions by Donald Trump targeting DEI programs across the federal government.

National parks have been ordered to check their gift shops for items that support programs like diversity, equity and inclusion – and remove them.

    WTF would those items be?

    descriptions, depictions, or other content that inappropriately disparage Americans past or living (including persons living in colonial times)

    I see. So this is a Trump administration-mandated campaign to whitewash history.

      It means you must not say that anyone except straight Christian white men has ever done anything good for the country.
