Applaud the Fight to Protect America’s National Parks

A federal judge has taken an important stand for truth, education, and historical integrity — and it deserves applause.

The court ordered the Trump administration to restore changes made at national parks, museums, and historic sites after officials removed or altered exhibits that discussed topics such as slavery, civil rights, labor history, climate science, and other important chapters of the American story.

The ruling recognized that our nation’s history cannot be told honestly by erasing the experiences, contributions, and struggles of entire communities. America’s story is complex, and preserving that full history is essential to education, understanding, and democracy.

National parks and historic sites belong to all Americans. Visitors deserve access to accurate, complete, and fact-based information — not politically edited narratives that leave out inconvenient truths.

This decision helps protect the integrity of our public institutions and supports the park employees, historians, educators, and advocates who work every day to preserve our shared heritage.

Add your name to applaud the leaders, organizations, and advocates fighting to protect honest history, defend public education, and ensure future generations can learn from the full American story.
