"remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions"
Sounds awful.
One thing for sure, coming from DJT...any changes will indeed be Partisan and lacking Objectivity
when it comes to Donald J. Trump.
I'm sure you could be neutral though.
By "partisan" I assume you mean pro-America.
DJT..."Pro American"?...he sought, and received aid from Putin to win...then formed a "War Room" at
the Willard Hotel in D.C. that on Jan. 5th coordinated efforts to try and overthrow the 2020 election. The man should be in prison right now...and hopefully will be once he leaves office.
Your support for Trump after being apprised of all the facts about his Anti-American activities, brings into question your own and other supporters' patriotism...sad to say, but true. How do you not see this?
I can just see a new exhibit featuring DJT surrounded by all his Time Magazine Covers...even the
fake from his golf clubs...
Historians are going to have field days when he leaves the scene...and all the truth comes out about him.
Day 205 of the occupation.
What a brilliant troll.

Amy Sherald pulled her exhibit from the Smithsonian portraits gallery in DC because
the Smithsonian would only show certain pieces as to not offend trump. Oh yeah, the man of culture and American life.
We live in a land of cultist cowards.
Who?

I could say, “only an asshole would ask that” but you who are devoid of curiosity
and discovery are just a true stick in the mud.
As usual, the point sailed right over your head.
My point: she is an unimportant artisan with a predictable political viewpoint that just happens to be very convenient to have within her social circles and customer base.
I would have been shocked if she said otherwise, and thus your post was devoid of meaningful content.
I googled Sherald.
Apparently there was talk of removing a painting of a dude (as Jim would say, a "transgender female") dressed up as the Statue of Liberty. "Trans Lady Liberty."
The article I found didn't say it was removed. Just that they were talking about it, so Sherald pulled all her art from the exhibit. She pulled her stuff; she wasn't censored.
Seems like Sherald doesn't need the Smithsonian as a venue for the art. Enough people are seeing it elsewhere.
That was the sanitized version.
She said she was told in today’s climate that piece couldn’t be displayed.
She had a huge showing at the Whitney in NYC. A magnificent collection.
The life of the Smithsonian displaying art work has a long and fraught relationship with artists. Smithsonian commissioned works hidden in vaults for decades because of a perceived controversy or embattled ideologies.
We should show "Trans Lady Liberty" and confederate generals.
Censoring of anything is the road to hell.
There is a difference between censorship (which this wasn't) and lack of endorsement.
Federal government should get out of the art business. No funding for the arts. Let private charities do that. That would not be censorship. Private charities would step up. No one would notice a drop-off in the arts.
Government has no business running an art museum unless it funds other government services.

The idea that Tubman and Douglass exhibits are being rotated out because of ideology is asinine.
Museums MUST rotate out exhibits periodically, or visitors don't return. Figures like Tubman and Douglass are regularly cited by conservatives as examples of historical heroes. Major museums each have THOUSANDS of artifacts. Even if they keep a particular exhibit, they rotate artifacts. This is so stupid. Out of the two of us, one, and that would be me, has studied and done this stuff. This is just good public history practice.
If there is an exhibit devoted to the presidency that covers impeachments, then Trump's name should be on there, as with the others impeached. Visitors are smart enough to discern between impeachments and to recognize the reasons behind each.
As for other exhibits, I have read about them and some are again immersed in the weird language and cult stuff that is endemic these days among credentialed nincompoops. Above all else, it is stupid business, because it appeals to a small strand of potential customers who are like you, and is unappealing to the masses. Just as I would ask if you've considered just being normal, I would say that the Smithsonian should just try being normal in its exhibits. None of the weird cultspeak and self-flagellation, white guilt and other crap that 80% of the country hates.
People on the left will do anything to absolve themselves of supporting the bad guys
