Historians Alarmed by White House Plan to Oversee Smithsonian Exhibits

Historians and free speech advocates have begun to speak out to express their alarm at the White House’s announcement of a wide-ranging review of exhibits at the Smithsonian Institution’s museums and galleries.

The free expression group PEN America said it feared the review “will rewrite history and strip truth from exhibits,” while Sarah Weicksel, the executive director of the American Historical Association, described the Trump administration move as a “major overstep.”

Ms. Weicksel, who leads the country’s largest group of professional historians, said she had been hearing from some of its more than 10,000 members who said they have deep concerns.

“Only historians and trained museum professionals are qualified to conduct such a review, which is intended to ensure historical accuracy,” she said. “To suggest otherwise is an affront to the professional integrity of curators, historians, educators and everyone involved in the creation of solid, evidence-based content.”

Lil d1ck syndrome.

First he took over the Kennedy center and only has events he likes, even calls it the trump center.  Then he chose who the honorees were, no one woke.  Now he's changing history to only history he wants everyone to know.

This is what authoritarians do.  They control the culture to control the people.

The weakest and brainwashed laugh at this, applaud it, call him father.  It's sick.

So, this is really the "we can't indoctrinate anymore so we're upset at it" argument.

America isn't perfect and has made mistakes along the way but its overall course has been as the greatest source of good in the world ever since its founding. What is going on is America-hating socialist sh*tbags like Howard Zinn and Hannah Nicole Jones came along and hijacked the Smithsonian and everything else, turning a spotlight on everything wrong the country has ever done. Well now they're thrown out on their ass and howling about it.

America is a great country doing grat things and leftoids can fock right off. It'll be nice to again have somebody that actually likes and appreciates the country tell our nation's story.

The left are such scum sh*t human beings to the core of their existence.
