- National Park Service flagged exhibits on climate change, slavery, and Native American imprisonment as non-compliant — By July 2025, National Park Service teams were attempting to interpret Burgum's vague directive not to "inappropriately disparage Americans" and began flagging exhibits deemed problematic. Flagged exhibits included displays on sea level rise due to climate change at Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina, information on human enslavement at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, and exhibits on the imprisonment of Seminoles, Cheyennes, Araphaos, Kiowas, Comanches, Caddos, and Apaches at the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument in Florida.
