The Trump administration is making moves to restore neutrality and historical integrity to America’s national parks — and the latest target is a children’s book by former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, a figure widely criticized for being one of the most unqualified cabinet officials in U.S. history.
According to a report by The Washington Post, the book “What Your Ribbon Skirt Means to Me: Deb Haaland’s Historic Inauguration” is one of several materials currently under review by the Department of the Interior for promoting what the administration calls “corrosive ideology.”
President Donald Trump recently issued a directive encouraging the National Park Service (NPS) employees to identify materials that prioritize far-left-wing political narratives over balanced, fact-based historical content. The initiative is part of a broader push to roll back the ideological indoctrination that seeped into federal agencies during the Biden administration.
Haaland’s defenders, unsurprisingly, are crying censorship. A spokesperson for her campaign issued a statement claiming:
“Donald Trump is trying to distract the public from the fact that he’s raising prices, ripping away their healthcare and taking food off their tables. It’s shameful that President Trump and his administration are censoring what people read, and ignoring the affordability crisis people are facing everyday (sic).”
The irony is rich. Under Trump, energy costs decreased, the economy expanded, and food and gas became more affordable. It was under Joe Biden’s administration — with Haaland at Interior — that gas prices soared, utility costs spiked, and access to federal lands and energy development was crippled by ideological policymaking.
As for the book itself, critics argue that Haaland’s publication is a thinly veiled attempt to rewrite her tenure with emotional storytelling rather than substantive accomplishments. In fact, her time at the helm of the Department of the Interior was marked by regulatory overreach, botched land management decisions, and prioritization of far-left identity politics over effective governance, which angered left-wing and right-wing policymakers alike, including making an enemy of the Navajo Nation as she unilaterally stole their land, costing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. She is regarded by many as the least accomplished and lowest-IQ DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) hire ever to hold a cabinet-level post — a token appointment made purely for optics.
Her tenure did little to improve public lands management, empower tribal communities meaningfully, or advance energy independence. Instead, it was marred by divisive rhetoric and policies that often hurt the very communities she claimed to represent.
Now, as Haaland campaigns for governor in New Mexico, her critics see the book’s placement in national parks as yet another attempt to force-feed children and families a sanitized, revisionist version of her legacy. Trump’s administration is right to remove taxpayer-funded platforms that act as vehicles for political propaganda.
Federal parks are meant to preserve history, not manipulate it. And restoring that mission begins with removing the false idols of the DEI era — starting with Deb Haaland.
Haaland has already sufficiently embarrassed New Mexico. Please let it stop.
She is New Mexico’s version of Kamala Harris.
A true embaresment to the human female species!
and Melanie Stansberry is our version of AOC. ha ha ha a real genius.
Are they programmed to not understand complete humility and embarrassment? How sick is that?
The scary part is that she has a good chance of being our next Governor. If you think MLG is bad just wait until that halfwit gets in office.
Doubt she even wrote the book.
Original version was in crayon…that’s what I heard. It was printed too… not script.
After all the congressional questioning I’ve seen, I have to agree with you. Her grasp of the language is questionable and limited to, “I’m sorry, Congressman, I don’t have an answer for that.”
NM political offices are filled by people who the private sector doesnt want. they have no skills. what is wrong with you voters, have you no standards ? our state last in everything and you couldnt care less. its sickening.
True!!! These wicked evil women who go against God’s law will answer to God Almighty one day!!!
This democratic state is satans play ground. People need to wake up and stop being puppets to the wicked Dems
The Lame leading the Halt leading the Blind . . . .NM’ Dem party.
I have come to the conclusion that Democrat office holders are nothing more than are puppets for the likes of George Soros and Barack Obama plus many others in control of the Democratic. Get stupid people in office and tell them what to do.
not one of them has an original idea ( except fetterman). the just repeat the party line no matter how obvious its false.
How do we stop this…without any other direct meaningful and furiously angry descriptors… fu**ing DNC insanity?
If this DNC or Dead insanity wont derail itself soon, this robot brain dead POS mental health midget drunkard is going to be our next Goobernor. The next tolite Queen sitter in Santa Fe.
Last in everything…first in violence… and the DNC party of NM hangs on and clings to life…Why? How?
How does the DNC of NM look from the inside then? If I could relate and even try to think like they do, I could understand them better?
I can’t do that… I cannot fathom anyone that stands by while a healthy 9 month old is executed FOR ANY REASON during a late term abortion. If only one reason can be established to disband the DNC of NM… that would be the one to do it. Why hasn’t this happened, disbanding of the DNC that is, is simply beyond my comprehension.
The Moderate button is dead in the DNC of NM.
low IQ, uninformed, apathetic voters in NM. its the only explanation that makes any sense. zero interest in what goes on except – what are you gonna give me ?
😁 New Mexico will never advance because the Democrats have no clue on how to fix our education, crime, drugs, and homelessness. All I can do legally is vote RED!
But but but…she is ‘a survivor of a 12-step program’ per her campaign ads. And seen here erecting the LGBTQZ +++++ flag…pandering like a Stansbury bot. What a sideshow her several appearances at Congressional hearings; that should have enough to dump her. But the fools who vote for her only see the bulllshiiiit propaganda on local ‘news’. Now running for Governor? Please, have mercy on we the People of New Mexico.
Part of the problem is the Emerge training. 46 of our democrats in the legislature are Emerge graduates. Emerge is democrat Marxist training program. And many of our judges are graduates. This includes our setting lead judge of our Supreme Court.
The dumbest representative not just in New Mexico but the country to ever be Interior Secretary! Between her, communist Stansbury, Wascally Wabbit Leger-Fernandez, another dope, Cartel boy Vasquez, Ben Gay, Heineylick, the Lawn Gnome, MLG, and our pitiful Beta male mayor in Albuquerque, if the voters this time around, don’t get a clue, I will consider this the dumbest state in America! We can’t let these WEF, Soros bought neo communists destroy this beautiful state
🥾🥾🥾💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🇺🇸. Kick them all out. The only way
The only way to combat the evil that comes from the Democrat party in NM is to defeat them at the ballot box. Scott Pressler showed us how to do it in PA , turning it red in 2024 by going door to door, talking up Republican values, registering people to vote and then making sure they actually voted! Our Republican Party in NM doesn’t seem motivated to make any real changes here regarding signing up new Republican voters and looking into voter integrity, starting with a deep dive into absentee ballots.
During the 2020 election, my son in law was stationed in San Diego with the Marines. When he and my daughter requested their NM absentee ballots, they received what looked like off-center copies of ballots?! They called the NM County Clerk and the Secy of States office to report it and were told what they received was fine, just to fill it out and send it back right away so as not to miss their deadline.
As Geo Soros says…it’s not who votes, it’s who COUNTS the votes that matters.
Instead of looking for someone else to get us out of this mess, each of us needs to help in whatever way we can by getting involved. Help sign up new Republican voters, help with election oversight or run for local office, etc.
Until that happens and we get new political representatives, nothing will change and we will continue in our misery. God help us.
I don’t know if you are involved with your local county party or RPNM personally, but we have been working our butts off for the last five years registering voters. We still have more work and you can help by getting involved at newmexico.gop
We have a small amount of volunteers and Scott Presler came to Albuquerque a few years ago. It’s easy to complain and blame, but the line to knock on doors, make calls and register voters is short.
registering voters is wonderful. buy the repub party needs an information campaign to tell the public what the democrats do. the dems lousy policies. when MLG shut down the state with her bogus mandate, there was silence . silence when she gave her chronies wage increase of 100 percent and the legislators huge pension increases. the news media wont do it, they are in their pockets.
Haaland speaks with forked tongue.
Blame, blame blame the voters. Can’t you see past that to the real problem of the choices that NM is giving the voters? Seem like all we have in NM are dems that do the same thing that previous dems have been doing over and over again. Help us get some GOOD election choices and see how fast things would improve here in NM.
you couldnt get a better candidate for governor than Greg Zinetti. he ran last time and was defeated by ronchetti in the primary. what was the turn out for repub voters in the general election ? it was LOW. it should have been 98 percent.
Agreed, but will Zinetti run again?
Vote for Gregg Hull for governor.
yes, its just that simple. someone with actual skills , knowledge, and a track record.
