Separately, LGBTQ+ rights advocates and historic preservationists sued the park service Tuesday for from the Stonewall 好色tv Monument, the New York site that commemorates a foundational moment in the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

The changes at exhibits came in response to a Trump 鈥渞estoring truth and sanity to American history鈥� at the nation鈥檚 museums, parks and landmarks. It directed the Interior Department to ensure those sites do not display elements that 鈥渋nappropriately disparage Americans past or living.鈥� Burgum later directed removal of 鈥渋mproper partisan ideology鈥� from museums, monuments, landmarks and other public exhibits under federal control.

The groups behind the lawsuit said that a federal has escalated in recent weeks, leading to the removal of numerous exhibits that discuss the history of slavery and enslaved people, civil rights, treatment of Indigenous peoples, climate science, and other 鈥渃ore elements of the American experience.鈥�

The suit was filed by a coalition that includes the 好色tv Parks Conservation Association, American Association for State and Local History, Association of 好色tv Park Rangers and Union of Concerned Scientists. It comes as a federal judge on Monday ordered that an exhibit about at his former home in Philadelphia.

The park service from Independence 好色tv Historical Park, the site where George and Martha Washington lived with nine of their slaves in the 1790s, when Philadelphia was briefly the nation鈥檚 capital. The judge ordered the exhibits restored on Presidents Day, the federal holiday honoring Washington鈥檚 legacy.

Besides the Philadelphia case, the park service has flagged for removal interpretive materials describing key moments in the civil rights movement, the groups said. For example, at the Selma to Montgomery 好色tv Historic Trail in Alabama, officials have flagged about 80 items for removal.

The permanent exhibit at Brown v. Board of Education 好色tv Historical Park in Kansas has been flagged because it mentions 鈥渆quity," the lawsuit says. Signage that has disappeared from Grand Canyon 好色tv Park said settlers pushed Native American tribes 鈥渙ff their land鈥� for the park to be established and 鈥渆xploited鈥� the landscape for mining and grazing. At Glacier 好色tv Park in Montana, Park Service officials ordered removal of materials describing the effect of climate change on the park and its role in driving the disappearance of glaciers, the suit said.

鈥淐ensoring science and erasing America鈥檚 history at national parks are direct threats to everything these amazing places, and our country, stand for,鈥� said Alan Spears, senior director of cultural resources at the parks conservation association.

鈥満蒙玹v parks serve as living classrooms for our country, where science and history come to life for visitors,鈥� Spears added. 鈥淎s Americans, we deserve national parks that tell stories of our country鈥檚 triumphs and heartbreaks alike. We can handle the truth.鈥�

The Interior Department said Tuesday it has appealed the court鈥檚 ruling in the Philadelphia case. Updated interpretive materials "providing a fuller account of the history of slavery at Independence Hall would have been installed in the coming days鈥� in the absence of a court order, an Interior spokesperson said in an email.

The new lawsuit is premature and "based on inaccurate and mischaracterized information,'' White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said Tuesday.

鈥淭he Department of the Interior is engaged in an ongoing review of our nation鈥檚 American history exhibits in accordance with the president鈥檚 executive order," but actions are not yet finalized, she said.

U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe ruled Monday that all materials from the Philadelphia exhibit must be restored in their original condition while a lawsuit challenging the removal's legality plays out. She prohibited Trump officials from installing replacements that explain the history differently.

Rufe, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush, began her written order with a quote from George Orwell鈥檚 dystopian novel 鈥�1984鈥� and compared the Trump administration to the book鈥檚 totalitarian regime called the Ministry of Truth, which revised historical records to align with its own narrative.

The lawsuit over the Stonewall flag calls its removal 鈥渢he latest example in a long line of efforts by the Trump administration to target the LGBTQ+ community for discrimination and opprobrium.鈥�

The Pride flag was , becoming the first such banner to fly permanently on federal land. After the banner vanished this month, the park service cited a Jan. 21 memo that largely limits the agency to displaying Interior and POW/MIA flags, although exemptions include providing 鈥渉istorical context.鈥�

The lawsuit argues the rainbow flag provided such context and says the park service continues to make exceptions for other banners, including Confederate ones, that help explain certain sites鈥� history. New York politicians and activists at the Stonewall monument on Thursday.

The Interior Department on Tuesday repeated past criticisms of New York City and its Democratic officeholders, who aren鈥檛 party to the suit.

Jeff Mow, who retired in 2022 as superintendent at Glacier, said the park service 鈥渉as always taken great pride in its scholarly research, its focus on telling the truth and being very straightforward about that.鈥� He called Trump's order a 鈥漝isservice" to the public, "and it makes it very hard for those that are trying to do their jobs and being storytellers and speaking the truth.鈥�

鈥淵ou cannot tell the story of America without recognizing both the beauty and the tragedy of our history," said Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, a nonprofit legal organization that filed the lawsuit on behalf of the advocacy groups.
