The U.S. Department of the Interior announced: Starting December 20, all national park gift shops will no longer be allowed to sell goods related to DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion, such as rainbow, girl, black, and other images).
Regarding the policy of the U.S. Department of the Interior requiring national park gift shops to remove goods related to DEI, the core basis is the executive order signed by President Trump on January 2025, as well as the Departmental Order No. 3416 issued by the Department based on that order. This policy is part of the continuous efforts by the U.S. government to comprehensively restrict or terminate DEI-related projects and ideas at the federal level.
Represented by some conservative think tanks, they believe that public spaces funded by taxpayers should not promote ideologies they consider "divisive" or "radical," and this move is a correction of the government's over-involvement in social issues.
