Smithsonian Under Fire for History Bias | San Antonio News

A new 162-page report accuses the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History of promoting extreme political activism and a radical view of U.S. history, downplaying the Founding Fathers while emphasizing division and systemic racism. Critics, including Heritage Foundation’s Mike Gonzalez, dismiss the museum’s claims of nonpartisan scholarship as “complete rubbish,” accusing it of Marxist-leaning narratives that undermine America’s foundational story. Gonzalez argues the museum should celebrate the nation’s founders and question why taxpayer dollars fund an institution he says is actively denigrating the country — especially as the U.S. prepares to mark its 250th anniversary. He calls for leadership overhaul, comparing national museums to iconic institutions like the Louvre and Prado, urging them to honor their nations’ legacies.
