The Smithsonian National Museum of American History is facing fierce criticism from Black conservatives who say the institution has traded honest education for ideological propaganda. In July, the House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency held hearings connected to a 162-page report titled "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian’s Efforts to Reshape the Past." The White House Domestic Policy Council issued the report on July 4. According to the report, the National Museum of American History has increasingly minimized the founders while filtering major events through fashionable progressive theories. American history contains cruelty, courage, injustice, sacrifice, failure, and redemption.
