Smithsonian’s Museum of American History Erases American Greatness, New Report Finds

On Saturday, Americans celebrated the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. Shockingly, according to a detailed new report from the White House’s Domestic Policy Council, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History (NMAH) did not.

The report, titled “Saving America’s Story: How Ideological Capture at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History Erases Our Heritage,” was released Saturday night during America 250 commemorations. It concludes the museum has been captured by “radical, activist ideology that is fundamentally opposed to telling the noble, honest story of the great country we know and love.”

Specifically, in regard to America’s 250th, the report stated:

NMAH has refused to celebrate the Nation and its history. It has not created any exhibit dedicated to presenting a general narrative of American history or telling the story of any of our Founding Fathers, the Second Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolutionary War, or the achievement of independence and the establishment of the constitutional rule of law—even in the 250th anniversary of the first of those pivotal events.

According to the investigation, part of a review of the Smithsonian mandated by a March 2025 executive order from President Donald Trump, the problem goes far beyond Independence Day.

Current leadership of the museum has “explicitly adopted an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens.”
