"Most comments reviewed by The Post were positive, though some visitors complained that there were too many mosquitos and “not enough moose.”"
"The Trump administration wants national parks visitors to report signs or other information that’s “negative about either past or living Americans,” and posted QR codes on signs across the country encouraging people to submit comments.
Instead of rooting out examples of anti-American ideology, however, commenters have responded by criticizing mosquitos and staffing cuts and praising the parks’ natural beauty as well as its employees.
The drive to overhaul park signage is part of a wider effort begun by President Donald Trump in a March executive order seeking to scrub federal institutions — including the Smithsonian — of the Biden administration’s “corrosive ideology” recognizing historic racism and sexism. After that order and a similar directive from the Interior Department, an internal National Park Service memo instructed staff to post signs soliciting public comments by June 13.
The Washington Post reviewed more than 200 comments submitted since then that were obtained by the National Parks Conservation Association, a nonprofit advocacy group."
