The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has signed an executive order aimed at the Smithsonian institution, which operates more than 20 museums and research centers visited by millions annually in Washington DC and New York City.
The order addresses the vice president that “eliminates the inadequate, divisive or anti -American” ideology of the museums, centers and the National Zoological of the Institute in Washington.
It also orders the Secretary of the Interior to restore federal properties, including parks, memorials and statues, which “have been eliminated or changed incorrectly in the last five years to perpetuate a false review of history.”
The measure is part of Trump’s effort to shape American culture, in addition to politics.
The order is entitled “Restoring the truth and sanity to American history.” He says that Vice President JD Vance, who became a member of the Regent Board Smithsonian due to his position in the government, will lead the purge.
Trump’s order says that Congress should not finance Smithsonian exhibitions and programs that “divide Americans by race.” He alleges that the Museum of History of American women, who is in development, plans to “recognize men as women.”
It also highlights the National Museum of African -American History and Culture, saying that the museum “has proclaimed that” hard work “,” individualism “and” nuclear family “are aspects of” white culture “.” The museum opened in 2016 in Washington when former President Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States, left office.
Smithsonian museums offer some free admission to some 15 to 30 million visitors every year. It operates 21 museums in Washington, Virgina and New York.
They include the National Museum of American History, the National Gallery of Portraits, the Museum of American Art, the National Zoo and more than a dozen others.
The order also instructs the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to complete “restorations and improvements” to the Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It is ahead of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence, which took place inside the building.
Trump has proposed to radically remodel the American culture, which according to him has been contaminated by the “awakened” ideology. He has signed several orders that are destined to eliminate programs for diversity, equity and inclusion of the federal government, some of which led to legal challenges.
Shortly after assuming the position, Trump fired the Board of the John F Kennedy center for the performing arts in Washington DC, and settled as president.
The measure led to a wide criticism of actors and directors, which caused several to cancel the next actions.
