7 times Trump admin. has been accused of erasing black history
2. Pauli Murray webpage
In March of last year, it was reported that the National Park Service removed an official biography of Pauli Murray, the first female, black and LGBT-identified Episcopal Church priest, and allegedly eliminated references to her LGBT identity on other pages.
In a statement, the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice in Durham, North Carolina, stated at the time that the federal government disabled "at least one webpage, and scrubbed language related to Murray's transgender and queer identities on others, on the National Park Service (NPS) website."
In response to allegations of censorship, an NPS spokesperson told The Christian Post that the agency was implementing two orders regarding gender ideology.
The first was President Donald Trump's "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" executive order, which officially affirmed that there are only two sexes.
"Agencies shall remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology, and shall cease issuing such statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications or other messages," noted one provision of the order.
The other was an order from Acting Secretary of the Interior Walter Cruickshank titled "Ending DEI Programs and Gender Ideology Extremism," which was based on Trump's executive order.
Cruickshank ordered that all department offices "shall immediately cease any and all equity-related activities, under any name or characterization that they may appear."
