Objection to fast-tracking historic marker contextualization regulations
 

Historic markers and monuments are intended to promote a discussion and deep understanding of our history, not the preferred narrative of today's most vocal activists.  These proposed regulations will permit ahistorical sources for the content of such markers and thus short circuit to search for truth.

These important regulations deserve more time for thoughtful commentary and critique.  Please remove them from the fast track process.
