Trump Administration's Review of Smithsonian Leads to Major Reforms

The Trump administration's review of the Smithsonian has included on-site investigations and extensive document requests, marking one of the most thorough evaluations of the institution in decades.
A 162-page report released by the White House recommends reforms aimed at promoting a more patriotic portrayal of American history, alleging that the Smithsonian has shifted towards 'woke' ideology.
Following the report, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to implement the recommended reforms and enhance the presentation of American history.
