President Donald Trump issued an executive order this past weekend demanding new signage outside the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History (NMAH), due to what his administration has alleged are displays that demonstrate an unpatriotic view of the past. They also claim that the museum’s displays depict historical events using a “radical view of American history.” “This EO is a clear political overreach, driven by an ideological agenda to rewrite American history,” Stansbury said on social media. “Our Smithsonian institutions do not belong to the President, but to the American people and so does our nation’s history.” The executive order is “an absolute affront to the professionals who work in that building,” Weicksel added in comments shared with The Washington Post.
