"In this week’s episode of Your Tax Dollars At Work, we bring you a nearly $100K grant handed out by the National Park Service (NPS) to U.C. Berkeley. You might be wondering what Berkeley is doing that involves parks, but it turns out not to really have anything to do with the grand spectacle of nature. It’s a grant to compile information intended to celebrate and “honor the legacy” of the Black Panther Party (BPP)."
"In case they need a quick reminder, let’s take a look at how the Federal Bureau of Investigation describes the BPP. (Emphasis added)
"The Black Panther Party (BPP) is a black extremist organizationfounded in Oakland, California in 1966. It advocated the use of violence and guerilla tactics to overthrow the U.S. government. In 1969, the FBI’s Charlotte Field Office opened an investigative file on the BPP to track its militant activities, income, and expenses."
"Who exactly is in charge of the National Park Service? At the moment, the Acting Director of the NPS is Michael T. Reynolds. He’s an Obama holdover from 2016 so perhaps that explains part of it, but the NPS falls under the Interior Department. We’ve got Ryan Zinke in charge at the top. Was he made aware of this? And if not, shouldn’t it be brought to his attention? If nothing else, it’s a reminder that the President still needs to nominate a new Director for this organization."
