In addition to cutting out scenes of gay events held at National Parks, the US Park service is also selling books that "prove" the Grand Canyon is only a few thousand years old.
This fall, the Park Service also approved a creationist text, 'Grand Canyon: A Different View' for sale in park bookstores and museums. The book by Tom Vail, claims that the Grand Canyon is really only a few thousand years old, developing on a biblical rather than an evolutionary time scale. At the same time, Park Service leadership has blocked publication of guidance for park rangers and other interpretative staff that labeled creationism as lacking any scientific basis."
Here's a quote from the book: "… in the creationist's view, the carving of the Canyon would have taken place when the sedimentary layers were still soft, allowing the catastrophic erosion process to quickly and easily cut through the layers."
From Amazon.com: "Author Tom Vail and his wife are the founders of Canyon Ministries, which offers Christ-centered voyages through the canyon."
