Trump order targets ‘divisive narratives’ in Smithsonian museums

E-mail Print PDF

Smithsonian museumsPresident Trump on Thursday signed an executive order seeking to exert more control over what is displayed at Smithsonian museums and federal sites, citing what the White House called “divisive narratives” promoted by certain museums.

The executive order claimed that the Smithsonian Institution, which operates numerous museums in the nation’s capital, “has, in recent years, come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology.”

“This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive,” the order states.

The order cites an exhibit at the American Art Museum titled “Stories of Race and American Sculpture” and references at the National Museum of African American History and Culture that assert “hard work,” “individualism,” and “the nuclear family” are parts of “white culture”;

“Museums in our Nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn — not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history,” the order states.

The order directs Vice President Vance to lead efforts to eliminate content from Smithsonian museums that do not align with the administration’s vision to “remind Americans of our extraordinary heritage.”

It also directs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to determine whether any public monuments, memorials or statues were removed during the Biden administration that “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history.”
