On June 12, 2026, a federal activist judge issued an order saying President Donald Trump’s administration must restore exhibits to all national parks that feature left-wing ideology, bolstering attempts by radical liberals to continue indoctrinating the American people. U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts put out a preliminary injunction to reverse changes and halt removals as the current administration has worked to preserve American heritage across the country.
Kelley’s order is designed to restore exhibits and materials that included information concerning slavery and climate change that were taken down after an executive order was signed by President Trump in March 2025. The order, titled, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” came about after leftist efforts to “rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”
“This revisionist movement seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light. Under this historical revision, our Nation’s unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, and human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed,” the order said.
“Rather than fostering unity and a deeper understanding of our shared past, the widespread effort to rewrite history deepens societal divides and fosters a sense of national shame, disregarding the progress America has made and the ideals that continue to inspire millions around the globe,” it continued, according to a report from Breitbart News.
The president’s executive order went on to point out that it was former President Joe Biden’s administration that “advanced this corrosive ideology.” The executive order then explained, “At Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — where our Nation declared that all men are created equal — the prior administration sponsored training by an organization that advocates dismantling ‘Western foundations’ and ‘interrogating institutional racism’ and pressured National Historical Park rangers that their racial identity should dictate how they convey history to visiting Americans because America is purportedly racist.”
Kelley, who was nominated to the court by Biden, has a well-established history of judicial activism. In 2021, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that Kelley has “made it a personal mission to bring about change through her role on the bench.” Much of the judge’s career has been defined by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices.
Biden himself bragged that DEI played a significant role in her appointment, highlighting her African-American and Asian-American ancestry as being part of his administration’s “push to expand diversity on the federal bench.” She has also openly admitted to using DEI criteria in hiring. “Diversity is very important to me,” she went on to say during a Berkeley Law Judges-in-Residence program.

“I want people who bring different life experiences and diversity can mean any number of things — race, gender, geography, socio-economic, work experience, all of it,” she added. U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s office said that it was looking over options concerning the issue, saying it was “improper partisan ideology.” Burgum’s interior took down an exhibit at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historic Park that described the ownership of enslaved individuals by George Washington and signs that detailed climate threats at Fort Sumter, which is located in South Carolina.
