White House announces more aggressive review of Smithsonian museums

I look forward to seeing the new guidelines regarding slavery exhibits, Jim Crow exhibits, Native Americans, and Irish/Chinese immigrants. What think you USMB? Will we soon see an exhibit of Lincoln saying the CSA was right?

White House announces more aggressive review of Smithsonian museums​

In a letter, White House officials said they would review the Smithsonian’s exhibition text, curation, exhibition planning and collections, starting with eight museums.

The White House will launch a sweeping review of Smithsonian exhibitions, collections and operations ahead of America’s 250th-birthday celebrations next year — the first time the Trump administration has detailed steps to scrutinize the institution, which officials say should reflect the president’s call to restore “truth and sanity” to American history.



The vetting process would include reviewing public-facing and online content, curatorial processes and guidelines, exhibition planning and collection use, according to a letter sent to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III on Tuesday and signed by White House senior associate Lindsey Halligan, Domestic Policy Council Director Vince Hale and White House Office of Management and Budget chief Russell Vought.
firmed the plan, which was posted on the White House website Tuesday and first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The letter states that the initial review will focus on eight museums: the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Museum of the American Indian, the National Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Portrait Gallery and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.

To begin the process, officials requested that the museums provide information within 30 days concerning 250th-anniversary programming, current and future exhibition content, and other material.
A more racist review.
 
If you are studying history to feel good, you aren't studying history, you are reading propaganda.

And if you need history to be a constant screed of "we suck" you are a self hating ****.
 
I went last spring.
Thought it was one of the better museums in DC

But a museum that makes conservatives uncomfortable
Imagine a museum about slavery, civil rights, contributions of African Americans along with plenty of white guilt
I didn't go last spring, but it's a very nice addition to the Mall
