Politico Sr. Legal Affairs Reporter Josh Gerstein reports US District Judge Angel Kelley has blocked Interior Secy. Doug Burgum’s “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” order affecting national parks.<\/p>\n

Kelley\u2019s decision, in favor of plaintiffs National Parks Conservation Association and others, means the administration of President Donald Trump must restore race, climate and LGBT mentions that it whisked away from park signs, brochures and literature in the name of \u201cAmerican dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The judge was particularly brutal in her pronouncement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beauty of history is the unvarnished storytelling of a time gone by and the delivery of undeniable truths. The Government\u2019s stewardship of these park sites thus carries a responsibility to present history in full rather than in favored fragments,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cUnfortunately, the Government has disregarded these principles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the guise of promoting American dignity, this Administration seeks to share a limited history by ordering the removal of all signs, displays, and interpretive exhibits at National Parks that do not align with its preferred narrative, thereby telling half-truths,\u201d Kelly said, while citing the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to tear down park exhibits memorializing the legacy of slaves and removing signage detailing climate threats \u2014 even at endangered sites already in the obvious throes of climate destruction.<\/p>\n

She said the administration had also \u201cwiped away descriptions of history and science at countless National Parks across the United States,\u201d which undermined park the integrity and \u201cset a dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood that Defendants\u2019 efforts, ostensibly taken in the name of restoring dignity, instead seek to rewrite the Nation\u2019s history with a white-out pen,\u201d Judge Kelly fumed. \u201cHistory cannot be faithfully told while excluding the experiences of communities whose contributions, struggles, and achievements form an important part of our Nation\u2019s story. Indeed, at a time of facts and alternative facts, the only thing we must be able to rely on as undeniable truth is history. And telling the full truths of our shared story helps our nation heal from past wrongs, rather than prolonging us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Kelly gave the Trump administration only 21 calendar days to \u201crestore and reinstall all interpretive materials that have been altered, removed, or damaged \u2026 since May 20, 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
