In a bold move, President Trump is shaking things up at the Smithsonian, calling for a review to counter what he sees as a "woke" overhaul of American history. Far from erasing the past, he’s pushing to restore balance, arguing that exhibits overly focused on slavery and critical race theory paint a one-sided, negative picture. This isn’t about whitewashing history but about reclaiming a narrative that celebrates America’s achievements while acknowledging its flaws. Liberals are crying foul, but Trump’s team insists it’s time to dial back the ideological slant and let history speak for itself.

Do you agree with President Trump's approach? Why or why not? Share your answers below. 👇
