Republican senators, including Jim Banks and John Cornyn, are introducing legislation aimed at banning what they describe as 'wokeness' and 'divisive narratives' in Smithsonian museums.
The proposed bill seeks to prevent the Smithsonian Institution from promoting content perceived as politically biased or activist-driven. Lawmakers argue that the museums should focus on education and historical accuracy rather than political agendas. The move follows criticism that recent exhibits have prioritized political messaging over traditional educational goals.
The bill would also direct executive appointees to ensure the Smithsonian's content remains neutral and fact-based.
