"executive order by President Donald Trump to prohibit exhibitions or programs at federal sites based on race."

Wow.

So we can't even exhibit our own Constitution any more.

Do not comply. As private citizens you do not have to obey EOs.

They are directed only at the federal government.

Generally private citizens do not have to directly obey executive orders, as these directives are primarily aimed at federal agencies, directing how they interpret or enforce laws.

Executive orders must be based on existing law or the Constitution and can be revoked by subsequent presidents or overturned by courts if deemed unconstitutional.

If an executive order directly affects or violates the rights of a private citizen or business, that entity can challenge the order in court.

Do not cooperate. Do not comply.

Keep Hope Alive!
