Wednesday, August 20, 2025

President Donald Trump has launched an attack on the nation's museums for being "WOKE," specifically targeting the Smithsonian in all caps as "OUT OF CONTROL." The Trump administration is on a crusade against institutions of learning, from universities to museums, to ensure they align with a narrative that presents history in a way that glorifies the nation rather than documents and explains the American historical journey, warts and all. He continues: "The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been " Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future."

What's weird is how liberals don't get upset about the truth of slavery.

Only conservatives find it necessary to sugar coat and deflect.

Slavery is bad.

Slavery was bad, but...
