MELVILLE, New York — President Trump has ordered the Smithsonian Institution to review all of its museums with a goal of removing any exhibits which focus on “how horrible our Country is.”
While he particularly called out the African American History and Culture Museum, noting that it focused too much on “how bad slavery was,” the White House also offered a long list of other displays of concern at other Smithsonian museums.
These include an “Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride flag” at the entrance to the American History Museum, an exhibit at the National Museum of the American Latino which features content from “a disabled, plus-sized actress,” and an animation at the National Portrait Gallery focusing on Anthony Fauci.
The Smithsonian Institution is the world’s largest museum complex, comprising 21 museums and the National Zoo, mostly located in Washington, DC, but also including the Hirshhorn Museum in New York City and the Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia among others. What other United States museum is currently being considered for inclusion under the Smithsonian umbrella?
A. The Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York City.
B. The Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts.
C. The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia.
D. The Museum of Tolerance/Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum in Los Angeles.
E. The All White American History and Culture Museum and MAGA Shop, formerly known as the African American History and Culture Museum.
