ANPR joins coalition in lawsuit against censorship, erasure of American history

The Association of National Park Rangers has joined several other litigants in a suit filed in Massachusetts by Democracy Forward this morning on our behalf to stop the censorship of history and science in the NPS.

“Our members, current and former employees of the National Park Service, have worked for decades to tell true and accurate stories to the visitors of national parks,” said Bill Wade, executive director of the Association of National Park Rangers. “To deprive visitors of those stories, even those we should no longer be proud of, and to give them incomplete information is unthinkable. We want to see this ‘erasure and sanitizing’ of history and science halted and the damage already done repaired.”
