In Response To: Re: New NPS director ()

It would be ok to have them speak in schools if they told the whole truth. Over the past year or so I have been in an exchange with a director of the NPS northeast and superintendent of Gettysburg battlefield. They both have a tendency to cherry pick their facts and quotations to promote their one sided agenda. Most noted are the Mississippi secession documents “Our position is ---" and Stephens’s cornerstone speech. When I brought up any Lincoln quotes they cut off any and all communication. I think I have the exchanges posted at the SHAPE website.

Lately I have been in touch with US Senator Roger Wicker's, of Mississippi, office complaining about this one sided presentation. Hopefully I can actually make a difference and get the NPS to tell the whole truth.

Anyone wanting to write Sen. Wicker may do so at Saleem_Baird@wicker.senate.gov. If anyone chooses to write Sen. Wicker expressing your concerns about the NPS agenda, be friendly and courteous and please CC your senator as well.”
