I guess I don't have a clue what DEI is...

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Hiring people because they are black or brown or gay or a tranny... and not because they are the most qualified. Do you live in a cave? LOL I would think you would know all about it since everyone you vote for campaigns on it!

What is "merchandise promoting DEI"? Can anyone name some examples of items sold in a national park gift shop that promotes DEI?

he watches MSDNC

Did you look at the video? It would be interesting to see what specific items are listed, or how it is further defined, in the final order given to the NPS. I don't think a book about slavery, as shown in the video would be considered to promote DEI. The how not to be a racist book....maybe... depending on what's said in it.

The government hasn’t hired anyone off there qualifications for many many years. A white male is the most discriminated against applicant and has been for decades.

Pretty much anything with a rainbow,,,,

They completely ruined rainbows

So you can't name anything?


Yes, I watched it. It showed some books like you mentioned. I'm just curious if anyone has any.actual examples. Perhaps from their own local national park?

I was just at the Homestead National Historic Park today to make gingerbread houses with the kids. I looked though their little gift shop while the kids did their thing. I didn't see anything that stuck out to me.

Of course u didnt...
Your 1 of'em...

sorry, loosegoose...didn't know there was going to be a quiz.

I'll bet beaverpeeler DOES watch MSDNC, though!

How much you wanna bet, and how should we prove or disprove it? Funds can go to the Tman fund.

I changed it because I was originally referencing beaverpeeler.

You're welcome to come visit the homestead national historical Park yourself and see for yourself. It's a neat place and it's free. They even have a whole section devoted to one of our own T.man members (white17, I believe) there, he was the last homesteader. They have his tractor and a big display. Pretty neat

I was there this past summer. I actually made a post about it. In case you missed it. https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthr...rip-homestead-museum-white17#Post8444822

I doubt you would find much DEI related stuff in a homestead museum in the middle of Nebraska. MIght not be the case in more urban settings.

We're a long way from winning.

… last chance was 160 years ago

hey, loosegoose...

You're still hung up on the war of northern aggression.

… and rightfully so .. that’s when the country started going downhill

… now we have to pass laws to get queer tree stickers out of national park gift shops

.. wouldn’t be an issue

… everything yall complain about in here wouldn’t be an issue had the south won

…. From big government overreach….yalls somalis to transgenders… I promise you none of that would have ever gained traction

… congrats on the victory though

see post # 8523175, above.

A rainbow water bottle sticker. I see the problem.

Well, good for Trump for creating this order then. Glad to see we're fighting the important fights. Clearly rainbow water bottle stickers are an important issue Americans are facing these days. We'll all be much better off if these stickers aren't sold at national parks any more.


Good grief.

can't admit you were wrong, can you?

… dudes a pecker gazer… just ignore him lol

you're right, Savell.

Wrong about what? I never said that there was no DEI merchandise being sold. I asked a question about whether or not there was any being sold. You showed me a water bottle sticker.

I guess I was thinking people were worked up about books about trans biracial disabled workers at mt rushmore or something. I guess. I didn't realize water bottle stickers were such a big deal.

LOL!

That what I thought when you asked if I could admit I was wrong.

I tell you what.....quote the thing that I said that's wrong, and I'll apologize.

You'd surely defend such books.

LOL!

Nah. I just wouldn't care.

That what I figured. I did the big boy thing and offered to apologize if you could show whatever it is that that you think I said that was wrong.

I wonder if you'll do the big boy thing and apologize for accusing me of something I didn't do? Probably not.

lg,

what does that have to do with the National Parks? where was the heterosexual sticker?

the point is, that crap shouldn't have been there in the first place.

you've been hanging around BC too long. birds of a feather, n'at.

Now that's funny, I don't care who ya are. LOL

As a trapper, I'd also be concerned about NPS partnering up with the Parks Project, which is known to support anti-groups.

you cared enough to question the decision...

Keith

You should care. Dang to this response! Dang to the crap! You should be (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)! Tired of this BS attitude!
