At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this PJ Media article, Daniel McCarthy criticizes the Smithsonian Institution for its lack of patriotism and anti-American bias in exhibits and programming.
- The Smithsonian increasingly frames American history through lenses of oppression, guilt, and grievance rather than celebrating national achievements and founding principles.
- Exhibits and narratives downplay or criticize patriotism, exceptionalism, and the positive contributions of Western civilization.
- This shift reflects broader cultural capture by progressive ideologies that view America as inherently flawed or sinful.
- McCarthy argues public institutions like the Smithsonian should foster national pride and unity, not division.
- Taxpayer-funded museums have a responsibility to present balanced, truthful history honoring America’s unique experiment in liberty.
- The “patriotism problem” risks eroding public support and the institution’s educational mission.
- Reform is needed to restore focus on America’s greatness and inspirational story for future generations.
