President Donald Trump signed an executive order behind closed doors on Thursday directing federal agencies and the Smithsonian to eliminate what the order calls "divisive" and "anti-American" content from museums and national parks, sources familiar with the order told ABC News.
The order -- called "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" -- directed the vice president and the secretary of Interior to restore federal parks, monuments, memorials and statues "that have been improperly removed or changed in the last five years to perpetuate a false revision of history or improperly minimize or disparage certain historical figures or events."
The order also directed Vice President JD Vance, who is a member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents, to work to eliminate what it claims are improper, divisive or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian -- an institution consisting of 21 museums and 14 education and research centers -- as well as the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.
The White House said in the full text of the executive order that over the past decade, a rewriting of history has cast American milestones in a "negative light" and therefore directs museums to remove some historical context relating to race and gender.
