Donald Trump has gone to great lengths to bully The Smithsonian into doing his bidding and ultimately changing the way they record history, and it seems they’ve just bowed to the president’s demands.
We reported earlier that Trump was illegally pushing for the museum’s director, Kim Sajet, to be dismissed for what his administration described as “highly partisan” behavior, accusing her of trying to document “anti-American” ideology at the museum by encouraging diversity initiatives. The board at The Smithsonian ascertained that only they have the authority to hire and fire museum directors, but in an attempt to diffuse the tension, they reassured the White House that they would scrutinize partisan bias at their esteemed institution.
