Protect the Smithsonian
The current stated agenda of the administration in regards to the Smithsonian and its museums is completely counter to reality. The museums and the institute both provide invaluable services to the nation as well as attracting many visitors to the capital. The accusations made against the Smithsonian through the recent executive order which falsely accuses the Smithsonian of “partisan ideology” and “altering the narrative of American history” are completely unfounded.
The Smithsonian is and should remain an unbiased collector of historical artifacts and knowledge and should not be used as a partisan tool of the president or other government officials to push a personal agenda.

Why is this important?
The Smithsonian is an invaluable part of American history and the conservation thereof. A recent executive order threatens to completely gut the Smithsonian and to further overturn true history in favor of biased, untruthful narratives. If the tampering in the Smithsonian continues we could lose thousands of historical artifacts as well as valuable documents and exhibits surrounding American history.
