Trump administration must restore history, science materials at parks, US judge rules

BOSTON - A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to reinstall exhibits and signs touching on topics like slavery and climate change that it had removed from parks and monuments nationwide "that do not align with its preferred narrative."

U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Boston issued a preliminary injunction at the behest of groups representing park conservationists, historians and scientists who argued that the U.S. Department of the Interior has been engaged in a "sustained campaign to erase history and undermine science."
