Funding cuts, 'DEI Yeti': Parks visitors blast Trump’s history order 04.06.2026

USA Today

Over 35,000 comments were submitted in response to a Trump administration executive order, signed in the early months of his second term, that directed federal officials to review monuments, memorials, and statues in national parks for language that could "inappropriately disparage Americans." The order, implemented through QR code signs in parks encouraging visitors to report "negative" signage or narratives about slavery, land theft, or discrimination, faced significant backlash. The vast majority of unique comments criticized the effort, deeming it an attempt to censor and whitewash American history, rather than an initiative to restore "truth and sanity." Many submissions also raised concerns about funding cuts to the National Park Service, the removal of LGBTQIA+ representation from historical sites like Stonewall, and the insufficient acknowledgment of slavery and Native American history.
