Trump orders ‘ideological’ cleanup of Smithsonian museums and a ‘restoration’ of American history
The president signs a decree to stop a ‘revisionist movement that seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States’
U.S. President Donald Trump has made good on his threat to intervene in the museums of the Smithsonian network in Washington, and even the capital’s zoo. In an executive order called Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History, he calls on these institutions to be purged of “ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history” and entrusts that task to Vice President J. D. Vance.
