flag The Trump administration ordered Smithsonian exhibits revised to remove content deemed "anti-American," focusing on national unity and foundational values.

flag The Trump administration has directed the Smithsonian Institution to revise its exhibits to remove content labeled "anti-American ideology," emphasizing narratives of national unity, achievement, and foundational values. flag The move, part of an executive order titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," targets portrayals of systemic racism, identity-based oppression, and critical views of U.S. history, with changes already affecting exhibits like the one on presidential impeachments. flag While officials argue the review restores balance and public ownership of national institutions, historians and curators warn it risks politicizing history, undermining academic freedom, and sanitizing difficult truths. flag Concerns have been raised about potential impacts on funding, staffing, and public education, especially ahead of the 2026 250th anniversary.
