President Donald Trump's recent executive order seeks to remove what he describes as 'divisive race-centered ideology' from the Smithsonian museums and other related entities. Titled 'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History', the order calls for an ideological reset in how American history is presented, prioritizing narratives that uphold American and Western values. Trump directs Vice President JD Vance to collaborate with Congress to restrict funding for exhibits that do not align with this mandate and to appoint board members who support these changes. This aligns with Trump's broader policy direction opposing Diversity Equity and Inclusion initiatives.
The executive order calls for the elimination of 'divisive race-centered ideology' at Smithsonian museums, reaffirming American values and shared history.
It directs officials to prevent funding for exhibits that degrade American values or promote inconsistencies with federal law.
The Smithsonian Institute is tasked to celebrate achievements of women, explicitly excluding any recognition of men as women.
The order represents a broader push to rollback DEI initiatives embraced by federal agencies.
