Donald Trump has announced his intention to restructure the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts' Board of Trustees, aiming to eliminate drag shows that he claims target youth. Trump plans to serve as chairman himself, emphasizing his commitment to a 'Golden Age in Arts and Culture.' The Kennedy Center acknowledged Trump's post but stated they had received no official communication regarding changes. The move sparked backlash from LGBTQ+ advocates, underlining concerns about freedom of expression amidst an increasing focus on culture war issues.
At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN. I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture.
Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth - THIS WILL STOP.
