Report," Trump's executive order targeting the Smithsonian is preoccupied with the nation's founding. And it wrongly promotes scientific racism.

The article from MSN discusses an executive order signed by former President Donald Trump in 2020, which aimed to establish a "National Garden of American Heroes." While much attention was given to the garden's purpose of celebrating American historical figures, a less noticed aspect of the order was its directive to the Smithsonian Institution. This directive required the Smithsonian to ensure that its exhibits portray American history in a manner that does not "undermine the founding principles of the United States." Critics argue that this clause could potentially lead to government oversight or censorship of historical narratives, particularly those that might reflect negatively on America's past, thereby threatening the institution's independence and the integrity of historical scholarship. This aspect of the order has raised alarms about the politicization of historical representation and the potential suppression of critical historical analysis.
