A Yosemite Nationwide Park ranger was fired for breaking a rule that didn’t exist till after an act was dedicated Shannon “SJ” Joslin, a ranger and biologist who research bats, hung a 66-foot transgender satisfaction flag, whereas off obligation, throughout Yosemite’s El Capitan on Might 20, to rejoice Pleasure Month. 

Nonetheless, regardless of voluntarily taking the flag down two hours later, Joslin’s celebration was seen as unacceptable conduct within the eyes of their superiors. Simply final week, Joslin, who identifies as nonbinary, was fired. 

However the reasoning behind their termination didn’t exist till after that they had already hung the flag. 

In line with a screenshot posted to Instagram, Superintendent of the Mojave Nationwide Protect Ray McPadden signed a rule into impact the day Joslin was fired stating that flags couldn’t be hung from the mountainside of El Capitan. However upon nearer inspection, McPadden had really signed the rule the day after Joslin was let go, backdating it to slot in with the backlash.

El Capitan has a protracted historical past of tourists hanging flags from its mountainside with out punishment. However this comes on the again of the Trump administration’s full frontal assault towards protests and ideologies that don’t match of their field. 

In line with the AP, the Nationwide Park Service has began cooperating with the U.S. Justice Division to go after staff and guests who could have allegedly used federal land to exhibit in a method that violated guidelines. Whereas nationwide parks have what are referred to as First Modification areas permitting teams of underneath 25 to exhibit their views, based on a NPS official, El Capitan doesn’t fall underneath that class.

No matter the cause, displaying signs, banners, and flags outside of designated First-Amendment areas detracts from the visitor experience and the protection of the park. To safeguard the protection of visitors, visitor experiences, and park resources, most demonstrations require a permit.”

Protesters flooded nationwide parks in March when President Donald Trump’s sweeping job cuts started to take maintain throughout the federal workforce. It’s unclear if the president’s DOJ intends to focus on these disgruntled staff or if the goal is particularly that of the LGBTQ+ neighborhood.
