#TSRPolitics: On Tuesday,
#DonaldTrump said that he told his lawyers to review the Smithsonian museums, saying he believes they focus too much on the negative parts of U.S. history, especially slavery.

The President’s major review of the Smithsonian Institution comes ahead of the U.S.’s 250th anniversary. He’s directed VP
#JDVance to oversee the effort, which aims to remove what the administration calls “improper ideology” and shift exhibits toward a more celebratory telling of American history.

The review will cover eight of the Smithsonian’s largest museums, as well as its education centers and zoo, and will scrutinize how topics like slavery, systemic racism, DEI, and LGBTQ issues are presented. (SWIPE to read his full statement) — (📸: gettyimages) ✍🏾:
