Coalition Sues Over Trump Order to Reframe American History in National Parks

A coalition of groups filed a federal lawsuit in Boston challenging President Trump’s March 2025 executive order to remove “corrosive ideology” from national parks, arguing that dozens of signs and displays have been altered or removed to scrub topics like racism, slavery, sexism, LGBTQ+ rights, Indigenous history, and climate change; the suit names the Interior Department, Secretary Doug Burgum, and the National Park Service’s acting director, among others, and follows a judge’s order to reinstate a slavery exhibit at Independence Hall.
