What Happened
The White House has released a report that criticizes the Smithsonian's leadership and its exhibits, characterizing them as promoting "woke US history" and lacking patriotism. The report brands the Smithsonian's leadership as "radical activists" who cannot be trusted.
This criticism appears to be directed at the content of certain exhibits within the Smithsonian museums, which the White House perceives as unpatriotic. The report suggests a disconnect between the institution's historical presentations and a more traditional view of national pride.
Anthea Hartig, the director of the Smithsonian museums, is reportedly facing the "White House's wrath" in connection with these criticisms. The controversy highlights a tension over how American history is presented and interpreted by a prominent national institution.
