American History X

[angrychair]

The Department of the Interior is requiring the National Park Service (NPS) to post signage at all sites across the country by June 13, asking visitors to offer feedback on any information that they feel portrays American history and landscapes in a negative light.

This stems from an EO signed by the Mango Mussolini titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History". They are literally requiring the National Park Service to rewrite history so it only shows the US in a positive way.
This, while not the worst thing he is doing, is absolutely bonkers and it's bad enough that most stuff already does portray the real history inaccurately but this will be even worse.

It is also an opportunity to really...really...send things into chaos and embarrass them.
I'm thinking you could recast the events in the context of movie themes, books and poems.
Like reframing Little Big Horn with the theme of the Epic of Gilgamesh or whatever makes you giggle.

1. Shameful. No matter what they do. They cannot erase history.

We should want to learn from our mistakes, not hide them.

2. I wonder if Shenandoah Nat'l Park will erase some of its history

It was created by seizing the property of small farmers living in the mountains. Remains of cabins and family burial plots are still visible. This was obviously a communist plot.

Much of the road, the overlooks, the trails, the cabins, some lodges were built by laborers in the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC was clearly a communist plot.

Most of the seasonal restaurant and hotel staff is made up of foreign workers, certainly DEI hires, so certainly a communist plot.

Beware the encroaching communism in our national parks.
