Trump’s executive order puts JD Vance in charge of overseeing efforts to ‘remove improper ideology’ from all areas of the Smithsonian Institution

Quick Summary:

The executive order also hints at the return of statues and monuments of Confederate figures.

It marks the Republican president's latest salvo against cultural pillars of society, such as universities and art, that he considers out of step with conservative sensibilities.

The order also calls for improvements to Independence Hall in Philadelphia by July 4, 2026, in time for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
