Trump is ordering the Smithsonian to strip “divisive narratives” from exhibits. We know what that means: gloss over painful parts of our past to highlight the “good” ones. We should recognize all of America's history—including our faults—not ignore them.

In 1861 a group of peaceful Americans protested quietly to a group of Angry Soldiers led by a Communist Lincoln, who started an unjust aggression affecting billions in the economy and ruining the future of the country. See, easy to write!

Make sure you take pictures of displays before they remove or change them. Send the pictures to sites.google.com/umn.edu/save...

Time and again, he’s demonstrated the warped notion that events or facts left unwritten, untested, suppressed, or denied because of his disfavor never happened or don’t exist. This isn’t just an understandable consequence of an election; it is madness, pure and simple.

Create signage that fits over the existing that will make Trump cream his jeans and then peel them off. He will never visit that place again - if ever.

Because slavery itself was the most divisive narrative, I expect the museum to be emptied and shut down

And it’s fascism.

Words on a black background “Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That's why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.”

Trump would like to further whitewash the history of the US, but it's, as it's popularly understood, already whitewashed to an alarming degree. You could build a dozen large museums dedicated just to the painful parts and faults of the US, and most of it would be news to most Americans.
