The Trump administration announced an expansive review of some of the Smithsonian’s museums in an effort to ensure “alignment” with the president’s view of history.

The president signed an executive order this year ordering the removal of "improper ideology" from the museum system.

In a letter addressed to Lonnie G. Bunch III, the Secretary of the Smithsonian, White House officials said they would lead a “comprehensive internal review” of Smithsonian museums and exhibitions, focusing on areas including public-facing content, the curatorial process, and exhibition planning, among others.
