The interior department needs National Park Service (NPS) to post signage on all sites across the country by June 13, visitors to react to any information that they portray American history and landscape in a negative light.
On June 9, the regional directors were sent to the regional directors by the National Park Service Comptroller Jessica Boron and leaked for the NPR, giving instructions in response to President Trump’s march “Restoration of truth and purity for American history”. executive Order And internal secretary of Dag Bergam Follow -up order Last month requested its implementation. Trump’s original order included a clause to order a bargam to remove the material from the sites that “improperly makes Americans past or alive and focus on the greatness of the achievements and progress of American people instead.”
Under the title “To encourage public participation,” Boren’s memorandum states: “All NPS units need to post signage that will encourage public response through QR code and other methods that are viable.”
An example of an indication leaked to NPR for image Wilson Creek National Battalfield In Missouri, the second major battle site of the civil war, beyond its potential establishment, asks visitors to identify any signal or other information that are negative about the past or living Americans or who fail to emphasize beauty, grandeur, and landscape and other natural characteristics. ” (Signs also asks for response related to areas and services that require repair or improvement.)
Additionally, Boron’s memorandum gives the park by mid-July to review all public-support images, details and other materials that may be uneven.
The review park affects other departments of internal groups apart from the service service – Land Management Bureau, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and American Fish and Wildlife Services. But it excludes the properties located on the original American land until they fall inside the National Park Service Service.
Park Seva spokesman Rachel Pavlitz said in a statement to NPR, “This order confirms the NPS mission that we emphasize the importance of accuracy in it.” “Our visitors come to national parks to celebrate the beauty, abundance and grandeur of the US landscape and extraordinary multicultural heritage. This allows them to personally join these special places, which is free from any partisan ideology.”
But others have expressed concern about these incidents.
“This is very dangerous when you start writing history again,” Theresa Pierno said, CEO and President National garden protection associationAn independent national parks are advocated non -profit. “It is so important that we learn from our history. To think that it can be erased or changed because visitors may like the story that is not said – or not called – is not stated accurately – it is frightening.”
