## Resource

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is under fire after a report titled “Saving America’s Story” accused the institution of promoting divisive narratives that prioritize radical social justice over celebrating the nation’s shared history. The former president endorsed the report, even suggesting warning signs at museum entrances to alert visitors that the exhibits may challenge patriotism. While the museum has remained silent, the controversy has ignited debate over whether historical institutions should balance truth-telling with national unity — and whether pushing for social change through exhibits undermines collective identity.
