A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reinstall exhibits and signs on topics like slavery and climate change that it had removed from parks and monuments nationwide because they "do not align with its preferred narrative."
U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Boston issued a preliminary injunction June 12 at the behest of groups representing park conservationists, historians and scientists, who argued that the Department of the Interior has been engaged in a "sustained campaign to erase history and undermine science."
Removing these signs not only undermines “the integrity of the National Parks; it sets a dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization,” Kelley said.
Kelley said she was ordering the government to restore the signs within 21 days, "by the 250th anniversary to properly honor the remarkable achievements of the United States."
