	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Trump</strong> is purging the <strong>educational materials</strong> in <strong>museums</strong> and <strong>school systems</strong> across the country in a move reminiscent of <strong>China</strong>, <strong>North Korea</strong>, or <strong>Nazi Germany</strong>. They are threatening their funding unless they comply with <strong>Trump</strong>'s fascist <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/restoring-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/">Executive Order 14253 “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History”</a> which would ban anything "woke" or that doesn't celebrate "American exceptionalism." They don't want anything related to <strong>slavery</strong>, <strong>indigenous people</strong>, or "<strong>gender ideology</strong>" to be taught about. Everything will be completely "white-washed" under his executive order. Our nation's true history is being erased.</p><p><br />The <strong>Trump</strong> administration is targeting the funding of <strong>Smithsonian</strong> museums like the <strong>Museum of American History</strong>, the <strong>Museum of Natural History</strong>, the <strong>Air and Space Museum</strong>, the <strong>Museum of African American History and Culture</strong>, the <strong>Museum of the American Indian</strong>, the <strong>Smithsonian American Art Museum</strong>, the <strong>Museum of African Art</strong>, and the <strong>National Portrait Gallery</strong>.</p><p><br />Here's more reporting from <strong>The Washington Post</strong> (which unfortunately may be behind a paywall): <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/art/2025/12/20/trump-smithsonian-funding-withhold-content-review/">White House threatens Smithsonian funds in sweeping content review - The Washington Post</a></p>]]></description>
