The White House is conducting an expansive review of the Smithsonian's museum exhibitions, materials and operations ahead of America’s 250th anniversary to ensure they align with Donald Trump's view of history.

The assessment, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal and confirmed to NBC News, will include reviews of online content, internal curatorial processes, exhibition planning, the use of collections and artist grants, and wording related to museum exhibit messaging.

The Smithsonian Institution includes 21 museums, 14 education and research centers and the National Zoo.

.... improper ideology.

Where are the Reich wing internet warriors screaming about thought crime and wrongthink now? Where are the warriors protecting history and heritage now?

Right right, it's so hard to see them with their heads so far up a literal dictators asshole.

It always meant their idea of history, their idea of heritage, and their ability to crush conflicting positions on either. They were never confused about it.

Remember that hypocrisy is a show of power in fascism, not an embarrassment.

The Turd Reich pedo in chief has to approve actual phd historians work even though he couldn’t pass a 5th grade American history test on his best day. Dementia Don needs to go to a locked facility
