Just for spite, defund the National Park Service by 50% and fire some of those rangers who clearly do not have enough sense to do the right thing.

Then donate the Parks back to the States they reside in and let them be administered locally to avoid this type of insanity in the future.

The NPS is about 1/16 of 1% of the federal budget. Also one of the few agencies that makes more money than it costs.

But I agree, its incredible that so many rangers/NPS employees went along with those fiasco. I suppose its possible that they already fired the ones that refused to do it, and the ones we're seeing around the barricaded memorials are 2nd or 3rd string fill-ins.
