“Museums in our nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn ‒ not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history,” Trump said in a recent executive order about parks and museums.
In Trump’s recent order, “Restoring truth and sanity to American history," he complained the Smithsonian has “come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology."
“This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive," he said.
Nations aren’t based on values, but rather a centralization of power and a monopoly on violence. We shouldn’t be looking towards nations for ethical behavior.
Id nice if they were ethical tho. Wouldn’t you rather live in that world?
Yes, I would prefer it, but that’s not the world we live in.
