US EditionTrump Ordered Purge of ‘Unpatriotic’ Signage From National Parks. How One California Spot Complied
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – The Trump administration ordered removal of content at 433 National Park Service sites flagged for disparaging Americans, aiming to promote a positive historical narrative by Sept. 17, 2025.
- Earlier this year, President Donald Trump ordered the National Park Service to remove or alter signage at as many as 433 sites, with a September 17, 2025 deadline.
- Amid calls to remove ‘improper partisan ideology’, the order mandates the Trump administration pressed the NPS to emphasize American progress and the landscape's grandeur.
- At Cape Hatteras National Seashore, staff flagged signage about rising sea levels last week for review, as reported by The New York Times.

- Critics warn this review risks erasing difficult chapters of U.S. history and marginalizing stories of people of color, women, LGBT individuals, and Native Americans.
