“The American Art Museum currently features an exhibit that purports to address how “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and claims that the United States has “*used race to establish and maintain systems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement*.”“
Oh yeah we definitely heading toward the fork in the road of “innovative labor practices like slavery and its less-efficient, over-regulated derivative sharecropping were actually good for the blacks” and/or “slavery and racism actually never happened.”

Although easy to overlook this EO as Trump-speak, I think this is particularly insidious. This is a clear and brazen attempt to whitewash previous wrongdoings that the United States has committed, eliminate any mention of historic injustices, and present an incorrect, revisionist presentation to the people of this country.
>The Order directs the Vice President, who is a member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents, to work to eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers, and the National Zoo.
I don’t think it needs be said that the Vice President’s interpretation of what constitutes improper, divisive, or anti-American will not fall in line with reality. Frankly, it wouldn’t shock me if we see officials change civil war exhibits and monuments to paint the Union in an aggressive and unjust light
