President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to remove so-called "improper ideology" from the famed Smithsonian Museums and the National Zoo.
The article from MSN discusses a directive from former President Donald Trump, which aimed at conducting an ideological purge within the Smithsonian Institution, including its museums and the National Zoo. This order was part of a broader initiative to ensure that federal agencies, including cultural institutions, align with certain ideological standards, focusing on eliminating what was perceived as "woke" or politically biased content. The Smithsonian, known for its educational and cultural exhibits, faced scrutiny and potential changes in its programming and exhibitions to reflect these new guidelines. This move sparked significant controversy and debate over the role of government in shaping cultural narratives and the freedom of educational institutions to present diverse viewpoints.
