A Liberal Appeals Court Just Sided With Trump on American History and Dems Have Only Themselves To Blame

And here’s the broader point that the mainstream media will completely ignore in their coverage of this ruling: the question of what gets displayed in America’s National Parks is not a neutral, apolitical decision. It never has been. For years, progressive administrators at the NPS made ideological choices about what stories to tell, which perspectives to emphasize, and how to frame American history for the visitors walking through those doors. Those choices reflected a particular worldview — one that treats American history primarily as a catalog of sins to be confessed rather than achievements to be celebrated. The Trump administration is simply making different choices. Choices that reflect a belief that America’s National Parks should inspire pride, not guilt.

The left calls that censorship. Most Americans call it common sense. And besides, if Joe Biden could order the DEI changes, why is Trump forbidden from changing them to reflect reality?

This is a procedural win, not a final ruling — the underlying case will continue to work its way through the courts. But on America’s 250th birthday, the message from the First Circuit is clear: a president has the authority to decide what his own executive branch puts on display. A district court judge in Massachusetts doesn’t get to override that with a restoration deadline timed to the Fourth of July.

A win is a win. Happy birthday, America.
