President Donald Trump has taken decisive action to restore American history in museums and historical sites, striking down the woke agenda that has infected these American institutions.
The executive order, titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” targets divisive race and gender content that has distorted the shared heritage and undermined American values.
This week, President Trump signed this landmark executive order behind closed doors, directing federal agencies and the Smithsonian Institution to purge “divisive” and “anti-American” content from museums and national parks.
The order specifically tasks Vice President Vance with eliminating ideologies that have infected these once-respected American institutions.
The directive targets exhibits that promote harmful narratives about American history, particularly those focused on race and gender issues.
Trump’s decision requires the restoration of federal parks, monuments, memorials, and statues that were improperly altered or removed during the past five years to perpetuate revisionist history.
It specifically criticizes exhibits like “The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture” at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which promotes the view that race is merely a social construct rather than a biological reality.
It also targets displays at the National Museum of African American History and Culture that controversially labeled concepts like “hard work,” “individualism,” and “the nuclear family” as aspects of “White culture.”
“Museums in our nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn – not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history,” Trump stated.
The act includes provisions to celebrate the achievements of women in the American Women’s History Museum.
Still, it emphasizes that this must be done without recognizing men as women – a clear rebuke to the transgender ideology that has infiltrated cultural institutions.
Additionally, the order calls for improving Independence National Historical Park for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, reinforcing true American values for the celebration.
This presidential decree is part of Trump’s broader effort to roll back the DEI initiatives that emerged during the Biden administration.
These programs have been criticized for prioritizing divisive ideologies over merit and traditional American values.
The order also suggests the potential return of Confederate monuments and symbols that were hastily removed amid the leftist protests of 2020.
Many Americans viewed these removals as erasing history rather than learning from it, and the Trump administration is now working to restore historical accuracy to public spaces.
Furthermore, President Trump has directed the U.S. Department of the Interior and other agencies to conduct comprehensive reviews of Smithsonian exhibits and national park service sites to identify and eliminate anti-American sentiment.
Ultimately, the sweeping act represents a significant victory for conservatives who have long argued that America’s cultural institutions should celebrate shared heritage rather than divide Americans with ideologically driven narratives that portray the nation as fundamentally flawed.
By restoring historical integrity to museums and national parks, President Trump is ensuring that future generations will learn about America’s true legacy of freedom and opportunity.
