President Trump Is Right About the Smithsonian

The White House on Thursday published a list of Smithsonian exhibits, programming and artwork it considered objectionable one week after it announced that eight of the institution's museums will be facing a comprehensive review of its wall text and future exhibitions.

The list was similar to a recent article in The Federalist that objected to what it called "anti-American propaganda" at several museums.

On the list, the White House criticized several exhibits, including a Benjamin Franklin exhibit that it said "focuses almost solely on slavery." Also among its list of criticisms was the American History Museum's occasional flying of the "Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride flag."

This comes after President Donald Trump on Tuesday in a social media post called the Smithsonian "OUT OF CONTROL" for its exhibits that only show "how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was." He said he instructed his attorneys to go through the museums to remove what he considers divisive content.

He said he instructed his attorneys to go through the museums to remove what he considers divisive content.

White House budget director Russ Vought last week sent a letter to eight museums demanding 30 days notice before exhibits begin and ordering "corrections" to content and removal or replacement of "divisive" language on displays.

The Smithsonian Institution gets 62 percent of its more than $1 billion annual budget from congressional appropriation, federal grants and government contracts, though it has long operated as an independent institution outside the purview of the executive branch.</span

History is not meant to comfort but to confront, and only through confrontation do we find lessons that lead us forward. Just as the Holocaust is remembered in all its brutality, America must reckon with the truth of chattel slavery, Jim Crow and racial terror. Anything less is historical erasure and rewriting facts to make the nation appear more palatable.

Unfortunately, much like the nation's education system, the Smithsonian has become a platform for political indoctrination rather than factual education and it's time to reverse this trend by all means necessary. This isn't about erasing or altering anyone's history, but about providing the proper context for the events depicted and injecting positivity into the displays.

This is both a whitewashing of U.S. history and a political witch hunt against anything Trump doesn't like. It's not a coincidence most of the content the White House found objectionable related to race, gender, slavery, immigration and people who've crossed the president in the past. This will have a chilling effect on America's art and history telling.
