This is scary as heck!!!!!!
The president signed an executive order this year ordering the removal of "improper ideology" from the museum system.
The White House is conducting an expansive review of the Smithsonian's museum exhibitions, materials and operations ahead of America’s 250th anniversary to ensure they align with President Donald Trump's view of history.
The assessment, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journaland confirmed to NBC News, will include reviews of online content, internal curatorial processes, exhibition planning, the use of collections and artist grants, and wording related to museum exhibit messaging.
The Smithsonian Institution includes 21 museums, 14 education and research centers and the National Zoo.
News of the review was outlined in a letter sent Tuesday to Lonnie Bunch, the institution's secretary. White House senior associate Lindsey Halligan, Domestic Policy Council Director Vince Haley and White House Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought signed the letter.
“This initiative aims to ensure alignment with the president’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions,” the letter says.
I believe the word we are looking for here is fascist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe.[1][2][3] Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[3][4] Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism,[5][6] fascism is at the far right of the traditional left–right spectrum.
