President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the removal of what he calls 'anti-American ideology' from the Smithsonian Institution and other federally funded cultural sites. The order, titled 'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,' tasks Vice President JD Vance with overseeing the elimination of divisive or revisionist narratives. It also mandates the Interior Department to restore historical monuments and memorials that have been altered or removed in recent years. Trump has threatened to cut funding to institutions that do not comply. The move is part of a broader effort by the administration to reshape how American history is presented in public spaces.
