This bill aims to codify an executive order that directs federal agencies to reshape how American history is presented in museums, historical parks, and monuments. The bill's supporters argue that recent exhibits and educational programs have presented American history in an overly negative light, focusing on racism and systemic oppression rather than celebrating American achievements and progress. The legislation specifically targets the Smithsonian Institution and other federal historical sites, requiring them to remove or modify exhibits and programs that the bill characterizes as divisive or ideologically driven. It directs the Vice President to work with the Smithsonian's Board of Regents to remove content deemed to 'divide Americans based on race' or violate the bill's stated policies. The bill also requires the Secretary of the Interior to review and potentially reinstate historical monuments, memorials, and statues that were removed or altered since January 2020, and to ensure that all federal historical properties focus on 'the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people' rather than critical examinations of historical injustices. Additionally, it includes provisions preventing the American Women's History Museum from featuring certain exhibits related to transgender athletes and gender-affirming medicine, and mandates improvements to Independence National Historical Park by July 4, 2026.
