A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to restore sites changed under an executive order calling for the nation’s museums, parks and landmarks to not display elements that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.”

The preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts also orders a pause on any additional changes, writing that the plaintiffs have shown that these efforts are meant “to rewrite the Nation’s history with a white-out pen.”

“History cannot be faithfully told while excluding the experiences of communities whose contributions, struggles, and achievements form an important part of our Nation’s story,” the judge wrote.

    I saw a picture of a plaque in the White House that calls former President Biden “Sleepy Joe”. Trump should be required to use appropriate and truthful language on that, as well.

    I remember when George W Bush was elected, people were concerned about how he didn’t conduct himself with the dignity that was expected of his office. But at least he wasn’t pure trash like Trump is.
