The Trump Administration has directed all national park units to post signs urging visitors to report any negative or critical information about American history. This initiative stems from President Trump's executive order asserting that U.S. history has been distorted and aims to promote a narrative focused on national achievements while suppressing what it considers improper criticism. The American Historical Association and 36 other organizations have condemned this move, emphasizing the necessity of acknowledging both the proud and painful aspects of the nation's past in educating the public about history.
"The stories that have shaped our past include not only elements that make us proud but also aspects that make us acutely aware of tragedies in our nation's history."
"No person, no nation, is perfect, and we should all - as individuals and as nations - learn from our imperfections."
