Wild Times: Rewriting History in National Parks
Noticed any changes to signs in your local national park?
An exhibit at California's Muir Woods National Monument was recently edited because of a Trump executive order banning any types of content — like exhibits, signs, books in the gift shop — that "inappropriately disparage" people in American history.
This isn't the first time that a national park exhibit has been affected because of Trump's policies though and park rangers and historians are speaking out.
