Democrat Appeals Court Backs Trump’s Removing Slavery, Climate Signs From Acadia National Park

A federal appeals panel comprised of Democrat-appointed judges has unanimously sided with the Trump administration’s controversial national parks sign policy.

Liberal groups had won permission in a lower court to restore signs President Trump ordered be removed by the National Park Service.

The signs and exhibits contained material about slavery and climate change.

Trump last year had directed the Interior Department to take down any “false revision of history” from federal parks, monuments and memorials.

In their ruling Thursday, an Obama judicial appointee and two Biden-appointed circuit judges rejected claims by Trump critics the signs cause“substantial injury” to American history.

The legal win is also a symbolic, albeit perhaps temporary, victory for Trump going in to the nation’s 250th birthday weekend over what Democrats claimed is the president’s effort to “whitewash history.”

Last month, a federal judge ordered the park service to reinstate the displays.

Trump has sought to purge national parks, Smithsonian museums and other federal sites of what he has called “woke” ideology.

A group calling itself Democracy Forward that sued Trump to restore the signs and exhibits claimed the ruling is only a procedural setback.

Every country, particularly Islamic countries, participated in slavery throughout history. WE fought a civil war to end it.

Climate change IS cyclical and natural, NOT manmade.

Marxists posing as “progressives” are always wrong and we’re not falling for their BS. STFU about both!

It’s quite telling that the propagandists omitted the Medieval Warm Up and Little Ice age from their “climate” signage.
