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(NPS) employees to identify materials that prioritize far-left-wing political narratives over balanced, fact-based historical content.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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
😁 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.
