Executive Order 14253 refers to what the White House has deemed the “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” order.
The report detailed ways in which the National Museum of American History (NMAH) has “poorly” portrayed American history and insufficiently highlighted the founding story during America 250th celebrations.
However, the report states that it highlights every group of Americans except for straight and white Americans.
A main focus of the questions was on the exhibits related to gender identity and whether they were appropriate.
Additionally, the report states that no policy changes were included in the Executive Order, as that is beyond the President’s role.
