President Donald Trump wants to make our government institutions great again, by scrubbing the dei and anti-American messages that were left behind by the Biden administration.
A target of this clearance effort is the Smithsonian Institution, which, as the president rightly claimed in an executive order earlier this year, “has come under the influence of a division, racing -oriented ideology.”
While we look forward to celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence next year, Trump wants the Smithsonian to throw away his usual ‘stories that consider American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive’.
To consider This statement Of the leading (taxpayer-supported) museum group of our country: “Our mission is to explore the history and legacy of race and racism in the United States and worldwide. We try to generate a positive social change and build a fairer shared future through interdisciplinary exhibition, creative partnerships, dialogue and commitment.”
American history will not be shown ‘in a gesture’ with Smithsonian, says Trump
The museum website sets the goal: “The increase and distribution of knowledge about the history and legacy of racism while building paths into a more just shared future.”
To be clear: these are not the notes associated with a single exhibition or presentation. Racism is the central theme of the Smithsonian and extends over the 21 museums, libraries and even the National Zoo.
Most Americans probably thought that the Smithsonian was dedicated to present the greatest art of our nation and our proud history to the world, with the brave souls explored and established a war to free the slaves imported from Africa, who defeated fascism in the World War and the Soviet war. They expect that Smithsonian emphasizes the American exceptionality, including the leadership of our country in technological, medical and financial innovation – such as the daring development of Wright Brothers of aircraft and the Apollo Moon mission, for example.
CNN’s Jennings says that the same critics of Trump’s Smithsonian Review of Trump in 2020 were cheers from monuments
They would be wrong. Our country applaud yesterday. Instead, the vision of the museum is to “use history and reconciliation to contextualize and transform our insights and reactions to race and racism.”

That won’t cut it under President Trump. The White House recently wrote to the Smithsonian’s Secretary, Lonnie Bunch III, and announced a planned review of the exhibitions and materials of the museum, with the objective “to ensure coordination with the President’s guideline to celebrate the American exceptionalness, to remove divisions or partially stories”.
Liberals are furious. The Wall Street Journal quotes Sarah Weicksel, executive director of the American Historical Association, who said that the efforts of the White House were an insult to historians and curators who were trained to guarantee historical accuracy. “If those things are taken out of the hands of historians,” according to Weicksel, “the audience is to lose a lot in having reliable and fascinating content that tells a whole and complex story of the American past.”

The “whole and complex story” of America told by our left -wing intelligentsia is always unflat. Our nation is depicted as racist, misogynistic and exploiting in college curicula and by historical societies. Our children are taught not to love our country, but to despise.
The existence of liberal bias at university campuses cannot be denied; Our leading historians are the left in the same way. Consider Pulitzer Prize-winning Jon Mecham, who, while performing his liberal interpretations of American history, acted as Joe Biden’s Speechwriter and Booster, said this in a speech At the Democratic Convention of 2020: “Our democracy is attacked by a sitting more interested in itself than in the rest of us.”
There is also registered democrat Doris Kearns Goodwin, another Pulitzer Awardee, who worked for LBJ, admires Hillary Clinton and once claimed that Trump “does not have the temperament to be president.”

As the New York Times reported, Bunch wrote in an introduction to an exhibition called ‘In Slavery’s Wake’, which wants to prevent a ‘strong stream of political leaders from dealing with black history, which they’ too divided ‘and create a culture of silence’.
Our nation defamation is expensive. Last year taxpayers coughed $ 1.09 billion, more than triple the $ 350 million allocated in 2000. The increased budget did not attract larger crowds: in 2000 the Smithsonian reported that he had 40 million visitors compared to only 16.8 million last year. In 2000 the presence was stimulated by “Alone —– Asters Shows Shows”, according to the annual report, such as the Nordic Blockbuster of the Natural History Museum, “Vikings: the North Atlantic Saga.” Another striking was the Conservation Lab and Exhibit of the Star Spangled Banner, which attracted almost half of the visitors to the museum.
Some of today’s exhibitions in the National Museum of American History are: “Latinas Report Breaking News“A” bilingual exhibition [that] shows the work of seven Latina journalists on Spanish-speaking television “and” American Enterprise “, which describes the” tumultuous interaction of capitalism and democracy … ”

The three recommended objects on the homepage include: a table used to draw up a declaration of women’s rights, a badge from 1861 that “may” belong to a mason in South Carolina who became a member of an independent Afro-American voluntary fire brigade company and a drawing that hung outside of a DC Health Center, a Colomb, a Colomb, a Colombanism, established, a colombanist, a Colomb, a Colomb, a colomb, a colombomban, “a colomb, a Colomb, a colomb, a colombomb, a colomb, a colomb, a colomb, a colombomban A Colombian immigrant.

The Smithsonian has not only woke up, Mission Creep has gone beyond our borders and offers programs abroad such as: “Hands-on Science Education in Mexico,” “Support from museums in Oman,“Science centers in Tibetan monasteries and studying sunken slave ships from Mozambique. Some of them can be valuable” soft diplomacy “, but I doubt whether most taxpayers would be on board.
Trump is right; The Smithsonian should show our country as the “radiant city on a hill” that it is and attract millions from all over the world. It needs a thorough overhaul.
