The Smithsonian and Critical America Theory
The Smithsonian came under fire in congressional hearings recently due to the displays that the Trump administration has labeled racist and incorrect history. What’s happening in the Smithsonian and in American history museums in general is not just random liberals changing diplays to suit their politics. You’ve heard of critical race theory, which is just one subset of critical theory. What we’re witnessing here is another subset known as Critical America Theory. It’s an attempt to label all of American history as problematic, and it's not just the museums.--> The Report: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Smithsonian-Report-Saving-Americas-Story.pdf <--James Lindsay/Critical America Theory https://newdiscourses.com/2026/03/critical-america-theory-left-and-right/James Lindsay/Long March https://newdiscourses.com/2026/03/explaining-the-long-march-through-the-institutions/Podcast: Mary Grabar/Debunking Howard Zinn and 1619 https://youtu.be/kan4GtFUBxQ?si=tqIwyS8MH6md6jetPodcast: Julie Behling/Beneath Sheep's Clothing https://youtu.be/uVtS7CwKYiQ?si=lpLQ-ejEMgig2GL_ Podcast: Xi Van Fleet/Mao's America https://youtu.be/kwTcBXRon0g?si=ogsieRcgFPXoJyn2Podcast: James Lindsay/The Marxification of Education https://youtu.be/uZPRbJEMWD8?si=RvDeFCoKubTteuvXKimberle Crenshaw/Guardian Article https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/27/why-trumps-attack-on-the-smithsonian-mattersPodcast: Ken Ham/One Race One Blood https://youtu.be/ee4KL10KFdc?si=w1BkKJ7_6qCHWudxLink: National Archives/AI https://x.com/sparklingruby/status/1637550235978199040?s=20Visit my website: https://nickitruesdell.com/Shop Knowledge Keepers Bookstore: https://knowledgekeepersbookstore.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickitruesdellofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickitruesdell/X: https://x.com/nickitruesdell
