Apparently because Black folks represent ‘divisive ideologies’, Trump ordered that ‘improper, divisive or anti-American ideology’ be removed from the Smithsonian Institution, the vast museum and research complex that is a premier exhibition space for US history and culture.

He’s desperate to deflect and distract attention from Signal-Gate. Rightwing historical revision gains a resurgence that began in the US with Holocaust denial. We may get new Jim Crow era monuments aside from the continued racist austerity cuts.

Order suggests aiming at what conservatives see as revisionist history

Order singles out National Museum of African American History and Culture

Order says Biden administration "pushed a divisive ideology" March 27 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered that "improper, divisive or anti-American ideology" be removed from the Smithsonian Institution, the vast museum and research complex that is a premier exhibition space for U.S. history and culture. The Republican president, in an executive order, directed that Vice President JD Vance undertake the action. The order also directs the Interior Department to restore federal parks, monuments and memorials that have been “removed or changed in the last years to perpetuate a false revision of history.” www.reuters.com/...
