It comes a month after President Trump’s executive order to remove what he calls “improper ideology” from Smithsonian museums.
And they’re letting it happen. It’s unbelievable.

The utter destruction of the republic continues apace. Russia's published plan was always to do this US in by inflaming racial tensions. I'd imagine this is just the next step in the playbook.
You should've voted then.
Did you read somewhere that they didn't?
Yes. And added a tag. It makes such posts as these very...weird, to say the least.
Omg I thought this was the onion. Fuck.
Fuck everything about this.

Turns out it is Hate not Heritage.
This is book burning :(
I'm just here to point out that the image looks like a sand crawler. Utinni!
Anyone wanna take bets on whether the artifacts and exhibts are being properly taken off display and stored, or if they are just being tossed in a dumpster somewhere...
You guys consider reading the article instead of guessing? The article is about one book and one bible being returned to one person.
The Smithsonian responded to DC News Now, stating:
The Bible and book belong to Rev. Brown of San Francisco who generously loaned them to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture for an exhibition. The loan agreement has expired and the items are being returned (in May) to the owner which is standard museum practice for any loan. The curator called and wrote to Rev. Brown.
None of these objects are leaving the Smithsonian.”
Likely where they put all their other stuff https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithsonian_Museum_Support_Center
We're at the point where its not going to be safe and cuddly. Say no, make the administration attack you. Its bigger than ourselves time bois.
Why? Someone had to physically carry that stuff. What curator could be convinced to do such a thing?
All of the museum people (curators, assistant curators, curatorial assistants, devo, registration, facilities generally make starvation wages. They tend to be deeply proud of their work and the contant of the museum and thats why they work there. So this nonsense has to be absolutely gutting everyone there, and probably across the Smithsonian museums in general. I feel really bad for them along with all the African Americans being attacked by this.
This action takes all of their work through their career and kind of lights it all on fire, for no reason but that Trump is angry at the world because he has a tiny penis and knows that everyone he knows cant stand him.
Stay strong, museum folks.
If I'm understanding correctly there's two books being removed. And the Smithsonian is saying the loan agreement with the owner of the books, Rev. Brown, expires in May. So they're returning them to him to rotate in new exhibits per regular operating procedure. If that's true I don't really understand the issue here. Rev. Brown seems to be under the impression that they're removing the items because of Trump's order. But he, at least in this article, doesn't even address the Smithsonian's explanation so I don't really know what's going on here. But it really doesn't seem like this is because of Trump's policy. If it was why would they just be removing these two books and nothing else?
