They should remove the whole page: parks are not funded to promote leftism. Put a page about plants or animals

reply

proseandpumpkins.bsky.social•8 days ago

National parks are there to preserve culture, too, friend. This includes culture that some might call “leftist”.

I do encourage you to look up the purpose of National Parks. You might be surprised. ☺️

reply

astrumia.bsky.social•8 days ago

Does the purpose include promoting gun rights and pro-life? If not, why trans? Parks should just be parks and avoid taking positions on political issues.

reply

proseandpumpkins.bsky.social•8 days ago

Let’s see:

Some parks have chapels and considering Catholics are strictly pro-life, yes.

Many of the parks honor war heroes and specific battles, the kinds fought with firearms. So, also yes. 🙂

The Luftwaffe functioned as a strategic weapon for ~18 months and almost self-destructed invading Norway, the Wehrmacht launched Barbarossa without Winter gear, and the only unambiguous surviving example of surviving nazi architecture is a plain concrete cylinder the size of a small city block.

I am not a lawyer, but would this be a first amendment violation? The original author of the file is having their speech censored, and I thought the first amendment is a I opposed to protect against that.

I think legally speaking official publications like this count as the government’s speech, not the speech of whoever was hired to write it. Therefore the government can change it at will unless the change violates some other statute.

dukeluke11.bsky.social•8 days ago

From my quick check earlier, it seems like they might have specifically grep the word transgender and replace lgbt with lgb. Instances of the word trans can be found on the page either as standalone or part of another word. Regardless it is mindblowingly bad from all angles

reply

aerynshrapnel.bsky.social•9 days ago

I find it interesting that they kept the “and,” it kind of feels like they wanted you do know something was missing, while still technically following orders.

chrismacandcheese.bsky.social•9 days ago

Genuinely interested in your take on this @erininthemorning.com why the surgical cutting of just the T from LGBT and not full erasure of everyone? Are they trying to force a wedge between trans people and the wider community? Are gay and lesbian votes important to R's now? All of the above?
