A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to restore sites changed under an executive order calling for the nation’s museums, parks and landmarks to not display elements that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.”

The preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts also orders a pause on any additional changes, writing that the plaintiffs have shown that these efforts are meant “to rewrite the Nation’s history with a white-out pen.”

“History cannot be faithfully told while excluding the experiences of communities whose contributions, struggles, and achievements form an important part of our Nation’s story,” the judge wrote.

    That’s the thing I love most about the Right.

    The more they say they love America, the less they know about the actual history of the place.

        I was in another thread and someone told me that Nixon was the victim of a plot by ‘legacy media.’

        I miss the days of objective reality.

        The only dark I like is when I turn off the light,

        The only hood I like is pointy and white,

        I don’t trust you if I can’t see your face at night,

        I think we all know who we’re talking abooooout.
