White House Calls Smithsonian Too Woke | US News
Description
The White House slams the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History as too “woke,” accusing it of politicizing history and sidelining patriotism. In a report titled “Saving America’s Story,” they claim exhibits downplay Founding Fathers and key documents, instead spotlighting racism, oppression, and social justice activism — even rebranding Thanksgiving as a “Day of Mourning.” The report criticizes leadership for linking history to activism, argues Christianity is portrayed as a tool of conquest, and insists federal funding demands a unifying, inspiring narrative. While the Smithsonian defends its independence and historians push back, the White House demands ideological reforms to return to celebrating America’s shared heritage.
