    Who cares. The Smithsonian already lost all its credibility when they sucked Trump’s dick regarding the impeachment display.

        “more” detail? You mean “modified” detail?

        "The word “alleged” was added to the text about Trump’s 2020 impeachment trial, changing the sentence, “The charges focused on the president’s solicitation of foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election…” to, “The charges focused on the president’s alleged solicitation of foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election and defiance of Congressional subpoenas. Trump was acquitted in January 2020.”

        More significant changes were made to the description of the second 2021 impeachment. Specifically, the phrases “repeated ‘false statements’” and “‘encouraged ‒ and foreseeably resulted in ‒ imminent lawless action at the Capitol’” were removed when discussing Trump’s involvement in Jan. 6."

        They changed the display to make daddy trump happy.

        Iin case you missed it, this is the how much spine the Smithsonian has:

        Fuck the Smithsonian.

      The Smithsonian is not a business, and gets over 60% their funds from the govt.

        I don’t give a fuck. They’re cowards and bootlickers if they change displays because it hurts somebody’s feelings.

          The Smithsonian has to follow orders, even if they don’t want to because it would mean cutting their funding or ending up freezing it.

          There should be an amendment that protects the Smithsonian from this without the risk of having its funds frozen.

            I thought we decided no one “has to” follow orders in 1945.

            Refuse and make them drag you out screaming. Throw a shit fit. Stand up for something for once in your fucking lives, it’s not that hard. I had some dude claiming to be with ice asking for one of my students, I told him to go talk to the campus police. Did I get fired? No. Was I dragged away? Also no. Having more than a toothpick for a spine isn’t that hard.

            As a museum, if they’re more willing to “follow orders” than they are to present actual fact, they fucking deserve to have every penny of their funding cut.
