@pbsnews: Exploring the efforts to control how U.S. history is presented in museums and monuments The Trump administration has put its mark on the nation’s cultural sector. One focus is on how American history is told and presented in museums and monuments. That has roiled many in the academic and art worlds. Jeffrey Brown explores the effort to reshape institutions for our series, Art in Action, exploring the intersection of art and democracy and our arts and culture coverage, CANVAS. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #smithsonian #museum #monument #trumpadministration #artsandculture #news

There would be no debating historians. He would want to put the historians in a WWE ring, and then say they got body slammed so they’re wrong.

Everything he says is an admission. He’s trying to rewrite history to whitewash and glorify himself

Trump wants to erase our history. Wants it to look like there was no grief, hatred, slavery. We have to learn from past errors not erase them.

History is made of villians & heroes, the lines often blurred. The need to teach ALL history is imperative-even the ugly bits. To spuriously glamourize only blinds one to the actual truth of history.

Why would he mention needing to get into right wing media to spread their message if the programming is unbiased? Wouldn't he just go on shows like this to speak to both sides?
