President Trump's executive order mandates the removal of 'improper, divisive or anti-American ideology' from the Smithsonian Institution. Directed by the President to Vice President JD Vance, the order is part of a broader strategy to eliminate what conservatives label as a revisionist perspective on US history, particularly the portrayal of systemic racism. The order specifically questions narratives in the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the American Women's History Museum. Critics foresee potential impacts on historical interpretations and educational programs within the Smithsonian, which is a major cultural institution in the U.S.
The vagueness of the executive order highlights Trump's ambition to eliminate what he perceives as anti-American ideologies from the Smithsonian Institution, asserting a strict control over historical narratives.
The order addresses fears among conservatives about a perceived revisionist history, particularly regarding systemic racism, and seeks to redefine the interpretation of American values and history.
