The White House issued a scathing report accusing the Smithsonian Institution of warping history to match far-left ideology, saying the world\u2019s largest museum, education and research institution can no longer be trusted to tell America\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

The 162-page report issued over the weekend by the White House\u2019s Domestic Policy Council blasted the Smithsonian and its National Museum of American History, in particular, calling them a political tool to disparage American history.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cSaving America\u2019s Story: How Ideological Capture at the Smithsonian Institution\u2019s National Museum of American History Erases Our Heritage,\u201d the report accuses the museum of anti-White bias, minimizing the courage of America\u2019s founders and distorting the creation of the nation. It says the museum\u2019s mission has been transformed \u201cfrom straightforward historical education and scholarship toward an extreme political activism that seeks to transform our country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Museum purposely presents America as a problematic country irredeemably conceived, founded by deeply flawed men and still operating today as an instrument of systemic racism and oppression. In the Museum\u2019s current telling, the country is above all defined by White supremacy, slavery, conquest, exclusion, hierarchy, racism, xenophobia, misogyny and systemic injustice,\u201d an executive summary of the report states.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report identifies a broad pattern: the founders are minimized, if not entirely excluded; traditional patriotic narratives are treated with suspicion, if not outright contempt and the basic symbols and stories that once helped unify Americans are presented not as reasons for gratitude and inspiration, but as objects to be inherently questioned, dismantled, \u2018problematized\u2019 and reinterpreted to achieve ideological ends,\u201d the summary states.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the report concludes that Smithsonian\u2019s leaders \u201ccannot be trusted to tell America\u2019s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying and worthy of our great republic.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Smithsonian spokesperson rebutted the report\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than 180 years, the Smithsonian has served the American public with nonpartisan and independent scholarship, and we remain committed to doing so,\u201d the spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The report was released Saturday night, moments before fireworks rang out on the National Mall.<\/p>\n

Specific exhibits are called out in the report. For example, a section in the museum\u2019s learning lab discusses Whiteness as a \u201csystem of power that normalizes and reproduces structures of inequality, exclusion and violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

An 1840 statute of George Washington on display at the National Museum of American History includes a depiction of Hercules and describes \u201cthe perceived courage\u201d of the American people. That language, the report says, \u201crefuses to affirm the exceptional courage of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report also criticized the Smithsonian for omitting key parts of American history. It concluded that there are no major exhibits dedicated to America\u2019s founding, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, other founding fathers, the Continental Congress, the Pilgrims, the Puritans or major moments of the American Revolution.<\/p>\n

Instead, it claims, many of the founders presented mainly with their ties to slavery, including that many of Ben Franklin\u2019s inventions were \u201cenabled\u201d by slavery.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump last year ordered a broad review of the Smithsonian Institution, demanding it provide exhibition plans, internal guidelines and programming materials.<\/p>\n

The White House Domestic Policy Council is tasked with advising the president on domestic issues like education and healthcare. It is led by Vince Haley, who spearheaded the administration\u2019s celebration of America\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n
