flag The Trump administration orders national parks to remove DEI merchandise by Dec. 19, sparking debate over public space messaging.

flag The Trump administration has directed national parks to remove merchandise promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from gift shops by December 19, citing a need for neutral spaces. flag The Interior Department’s memo, part of a broader effort to eliminate policies seen as discriminatory based on race, gender, or sexual orientation, lacks specific examples of banned items, creating confusion among park employees and vendors. flag Conservation groups and park advocates warn the move amounts to censorship, threatening the educational mission of national parks and risking the erasure of important historical narratives. flag Critics argue the directive distracts from urgent challenges like staffing shortages and infrastructure needs, while conservative supporters say taxpayer-funded spaces should not promote divisive ideologies. flag The policy reflects ongoing national debates over how public institutions should represent history and values.
