Also MAGA: keep that out of the Smithsonian, we don’t want anyone to think slavery was bad or anything
The park service was ordered months ago to remove anything that made Americans in the past look bad. They had to display QR codes at all parks so citizens could report signage that made Americans look bad.
Internal reports are full of visitors complaining about how signage makes the Confederacy look bad or how the signage at a historic plantation focuses too much on slavery.
It's wild
I'd be tempted to write a complaint that the signs asking for people's opinions on things that make America look bad makes America look bad. It's a legitimate complaint too.
