White House to Vet Smithsonian Museums to Fit Trump’s Historical Vision

The Wall Street Journal reports the White House will conduct a sweeping review of
Smithsonian museum exhibitions, materials and operations to align it with President
Donald Trump’s interpretation of American history.

Three top White House officials, said the Journal, sent a letter to Lonnie Bunch, the
secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, claiming they want to ensure the museums’
“unity, progress, and enduring values” reflect President Donald Trump’s executive order
calling for “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”

The White House intends to inspect and adjust public-facing exhibition text and online
content. It also wants to have a say in future exhibition planning, as well as the use of
collections and artist grants, say Journal reporters.

Lol, Trump's not authoritarian at all! Well, just as long as everything is done his way!

Does that mean they will remove him from the impeachment display again?

Just great.

After exercising his expertise on the U.S. economy, and his superb architectural vision in DC, now he’s flexing his keen knowledge of our country’s history.

I imagine that the Gilded Age will be prominent.

I propose that, when the time comes, there should be an ornate mausoleum constructed on the National Mall. It will hold the embalmed corpse of dear leader and there will be a fee to pass in review.

I don’t have a problem with the White House ensuring the Smithsonian doesn’t continue doing stupid racist shit like this:

Smithsonian Race Guidelines: Rational Thinking & Hard Work Are White Values

A graphic displayed in the guidelines, entitled "Aspects and Assumptions of Whiteness in the United States," declares that rational thinking and hard work, among others, are white values.
