"“As Americans, we deserve national parks that tell stories of our country’s triumphs and heartbreaks alike,” one critic said of the administration’s changes. “We can handle the truth.”"
"A coalition of scientific, preservation and historical groups on Tuesday sued the Trump administration, arguing that the removal of information about civil rights, climate change and other topics at multiple national parks amounts to illegal censorship.
“Censoring science and erasing America’s history at national parks are direct threats to everything these amazing places, and our country, stand for,” Alan Spears, senior director of cultural resources for the National Parks Conservation Association, said in a statement announcing the filing. “As Americans, we deserve national parks that tell stories of our country’s triumphs and heartbreaks alike. We can handle the truth.”
Tuesday’s lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Massachusetts, argues that in its haste to carry out an order from President Donald Trump, the Interior Department has ignored well-established principles and legal requirements when seeking to overhaul information presented at national parks."
