Subject: The US now has its very own Josef Goebbels
Let us set the WayBack machine to 1933, Sherman.

Mere months after becoming chancellor of Germany in 1933, Hitler established the Reichskulturkammer (RKK) under the leadership of propaganda minister Josef Goebbels. Seven departments were created to oversee, respectively, film, music, visual arts, theatre, literature, media, and radio. In order to work as a professional artist, people had to obtain an Aryan certificate and register with the the RKK.

Cultural works in the Third Reich were supposed to glorify Germany and the regime, and to embody Aryan values. But it wasn’t clear what criteria would or could be used to define ‘Aryan’ art. Unsurprisingly, the people most responsible for making these decisions had different tastes. Goebbels actually enjoyed and collected some abstract art, while Alfred Rosenberg “liked the pastoral, romantic style that depicted humble farmers, rural landscapes and blond maidens.” Heinrich Himmler preferred “mystical, Germanic art that harked back to a tribal past.” For several years, these men battled it out to determine what should be the standard.

Now let's fast forward to today.

Now, with that history in mind, let’s jump to the present.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday taking aim at the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers. Trump directed Vice President JD Vance to eliminate ‘improper, divisive, or anti-American’ ideology from programs at the Smithsonian Institution, which receives federal funding.
The presidential order seeks to restore “truth and sanity to American history by revitalizing key cultural institutions and reversing the spread of divisive ideology.” It states that President Trump wants the Smithsonian to exhibit work that “celebrates American history and ingenuity, serves as a symbol to the world of American greatness, and makes America proud.”

It further states, under the heading “COMBATING CORROSIVE IDEOLOGY,” that “In the last decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted effort to rewrite American history and force our nation to adopt a factually baseless ideology aimed at diminishing American achievement.”
