Trump issues executive order targeting 'woke' and 'anti-American' culture in US museums

The article from MSN discusses an executive order issued by former President Donald Trump targeting what he described as "woke and anti-American culture" in U.S. museums. The order, which was part of Trump's broader push against what he perceived as liberal biases in cultural institutions, aimed to ensure that federal funding for museums would be contingent upon their adherence to presenting American history in a manner that aligns with traditional, patriotic narratives. This move was criticized by many in the arts and culture community as an attempt to censor or influence the content of exhibitions, potentially stifling artistic freedom and historical accuracy. Critics argued that this order could lead to self-censorship among museum curators and historians, fearing the loss of funding if their exhibits did not conform to the administration's views on American history and culture. The executive order was seen as part of a larger cultural battle over how history, particularly contentious aspects like racial and social justice issues, should be portrayed in public institutions.
