National Park Service to remove quotes about slavery, immigration and suffrage from Bunker Hill site

The National Park Service is slated to remove informational panels from the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston featuring quotes about suffrage, immigration, abolitionist and anti-war movements, according to reporting from the Washington Post.
The Post reported the plan to take them down was prompted by a visitor's complaint.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of the Interior, which manages the park service, called the removal "a routine exhibit refresh."
Over the past year, President Trump has sought to scrub national monuments, museums, parks and other historical sites of markers that the administration claims cast the country's "founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light." Trump signed an executive order in March 2025 ordering multiple departments examine their exhibits for "improper ideology."

At least our esteemed president is concerning himself with matters of the utmost importance. I'm sure every American family sits around the dinner table every night wondering when the hell somebody is going to get rid of all markers in the national parks that cast the country's "founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light."
Do I really need the 
thing?
