American History X [View all]
The Department of the Interior is requiring the National Park Service (NPS) to post signage at all sites across the country by June 13, asking visitors to offer feedback on any information that they feel portrays American history and landscapes in a negative light.
This stems from an EO signed by the Mango Mussolini titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History". They are literally requiring the National Park Service to rewrite history so it only shows the US in a positive way.
This, while not the worst thing he is doing, is absolutely bonkers and it's bad enough that most stuff already does portray the real history inaccurately but this will be even worse.
It is also an opportunity to really...really...send things into chaos and embarrass them.
I'm thinking you could recast the events in the context of movie themes, books and poems.
Like reframing Little Big Horn with the theme of the Epic of Gilgamesh or whatever makes you giggle.
