Some good news
From the article:
"Among the flagged items is the first resource removed following the order: a contentious exhibit in Muir Woods National Monument called “History Under Construction,” flagged because it featured amended sections acknowledging the roles of Indigenous people, women, and racism in the park’s history. A sign detailing the massacre of Indigenous people by early settlers in Grand Teton National Park was listed as “discarded,” leaving questions as to how it will be replaced."
A judge is now mandating that all removed exhibits be reinstated

The Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is shown on Sept. 16, 2025, in Harpers Ferry, W.Va.
The Trump administration removed more than 50 exhibits from dozens of national park sites as part of its attempt to sanitize the portrayal of American history, according to a new, court-ordered inventory provided by the National Park Service. Although 16 of the exhibits have already been “discarded,” according to the court document, a federal judge is now mandating that the Interior Department reinstate all removed exhibits ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
“The court ruling made us all feel just a little bit more sane because it reinforces what we’ve been feeling all along, that you can’t pick and choose history,” Elizabeth Villano, a member of the advocacy group Resistance Rangers, told SFGATE. “We’re happy with the decision, but it doesn’t mean the work is done. Censorship is still the de facto standing order.”
