Critics: Trump admin. making an attempt to ‘whitewash’ Smithsonian reveals

The White House is conducting a complete inside evaluation of reveals and supplies on the Smithsonian Institution – the group that runs the nation’s main public museums – in an effort to adjust to President Donald Trump’s directive about what ought to and shouldn’t be displayed.

The initiative, a trio of high Trump aides wrote in a letter to Smithsonian Institution secretary Lonnie Bunch III, “aims to ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.”

It marks the newest transfer by the Trump administration to impose the president’s views on US cultural and historic establishments and purge supplies targeted on variety.
