Smithsonian rejects Trump ‘anti-American’ charge, noting nonpartisan history

The Smithsonian Institution rejected accusations from a White House report alleging it promotes a 'radical, activist ideology' in its historical narratives. The report, which criticizes the National Museum of American History for downplaying U.S. achievements and emphasizing injustices, was described by academics and Smithsonian officials as an attempt to impose a nationalistic vision rather than maintain nonpartisan historical scholarship.
