One of Trump’s endless and bizarre Executive Orders mandated that National Parks and National Monuments say only positive things about the American past. Trump believes in sugarcoating (or should I say “whitewashing”) any bad things in our history. Somehow I guess he thinks that will make us more “patriotic.” It just makes us ridiculous.
Our daughter was speculating on how the Manzanar internment camp for Japanese-Americans would handle this requirement. We have visited Manzanar, and it is a bleak place in a dry area of California, hot and miserable in the summer; cold and miserable in the winter. It will be a challenge, but here what she suggested Trump might use for interpretive material.
“Camping out in the desert”
“Fun times in the Sierras”
“Stay rent free in cabins”
I don’t know how they will handle Little Bighorn, or the Trail of Tears, or the war against the Modocs. Who voted for this idiot?
