I hope I don’t run into this when I visit Mount Vernon in November.
I’m pretty sure Monticello went politically correct years ago.
Mount Vernon isn’t run by the National Park Service but a private non profit organization called the Mount Vernon Ladies Association.
They blare all about his slaves over the loudspeaker at Mount Vernon.
We have been to Mount Vernon 3 times. Happy to say that there has been little of this garbage there. Of course, a lot may have changed since our last visit, which was about 4 years ago.

It’s not as pervasive, but it certainly has taken firm hold. It is becoming all about the “enslaved”. We have been there five times in the past 17 years. I noticed the creep, and the last time that we went it was very different than the first. Washington is a side note now. I won’t ever go back.
Even the mansion tour was spoiled - it is very rushed, and that is the best thing that I can say about it. Perhaps in November it will be shoulder season, and won’t be like Disneyland of the Slaveholder.
