NPS Flags Book About George Washington in Trump Crackdown

National Park Service employees have flagged several books to remove from their gift shops as part of the Trump administration’s crusade against “corrosive ideology.”

A records review conducted by The Washington Postrevealed several book titles that have been earmarked to potentially be pulled from park retail stores, including a Native American picture book by former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland; Nikole Hannah-Jones’s The 1619 Project, about the history of slavery in the United States; and another book that reportedly refers to first President George Washington as “an enslaver.”
