唐纳德·特朗普总统清除其政府所称的史密森学会内“觉醒派”意识形态的行动，已演变为数十年来白宫对该机构最全面的审查之一。
史密森学会管理着21座博物馆、国家动物园以及近1.57亿件物品和标本，每年在私人资助之外还能获得超过10亿美元的联邦拨款。
在公众对如何看待和重述美国故事的分歧日益加剧的背景下，本届政府的这场运动将这家由纳税人资助的机构置于关于爱国主义、历史解读以及联邦资助文化机构角色的广泛辩论的中心。

在过去16个月里，本届政府审查了博物馆展览、教育项目、内部记录和领导层声明，发出了多份文件调取请求，约谈了策展人，并对博物馆进行了实地考察。
这场行动最终催生了一份162页的白宫报告，该报告建议进行全面改革，并宣布实施这些建议的新行政举措。
以下是主要事态发展的时间线：
2025年3月27日：特朗普发起铲除史密森学会内“觉醒派”意识形态的行动
特朗普在其第二任期的第二个月签署了一项题为“恢复美国历史的真相与理性”的行政命令。该命令声称，包括史密森学会在内的联邦文化机构一直在宣扬“分裂性”意识形态叙事。
这项行政行动指示特朗普政府恢复其所称的更具爱国主义色彩的美国历史呈现方式。同时，它指派白宫国内政策委员会以及副总统JD·万斯——作为史密森学会理事——对史密森学会的展览和项目进行审查。
2025年春夏：白宫启动对史密森学会的调查
在特朗普签署行政命令后，白宫国内政策委员会启动了对史密森学会的调查，重点主要放在国家美国历史博物馆上。
官员们审查了展览、教育材料、战略规划、领导演讲、博物馆项目和公开声明。在审查过程中，该委员会记录了他们认为优先考虑分裂性意识形态叙事而非所谓爱国主义式美国历史讲述的案例。

白宫官员向史密森学会秘书朗尼·邦奇发送了一封信，正式启动特朗普下令的审查。
该信指示该机构提交展览计划、教育材料、内部政策和其他记录，同时概述对八家史密森学会博物馆的审查，以确保展览“颂扬美国例外论”，并移除本届政府所称的分裂性叙事。
信中还为文件提交、策展人约谈和实地审查设定了最后期限，并指示博物馆在120天内开始修改面向公众的内容。

白宫批评该博物馆在2025年7月4日开放的情况下，未举办任何特别的独立日活动，并取消了传统的国旗日仪式，同时在规划250周年纪念展览和活动。
据本届政府称，这些250周年纪念展强调了美国的缺陷，却对开国元勋、《独立宣言》和美国革命给予的关注不足。
2025年12月18日：白宫称史密森学会未配合审查
白宫在给史密森学会秘书邦奇的一封信中表示，该机构未能提供审查期间要求的大部分记录。
除其他事项外，审查要求提交展览计划、策展文件和治理材料。
此时，本届政府给史密森学会设定了截至2026年1月13日的期限，以提交所要求的记录。它还提醒该机构，联邦资金的使用必须符合特朗普的“恢复美国历史的真相与理性”行政命令。

白宫调查人员完成了对史密森学会博物馆的实地考察。在访问期间，他们作为本届政府审查的一部分，审查了展览、教育材料、数字内容和内部规划文件，并约谈了博物馆工作人员。
史密森学会国家美国历史博物馆宣扬“极端政治激进主义”，报告指控
调查人员在这些访问中发现，他们所称的展览强调了修复历史、去殖民化、移民激进主义、多元化、公平性和包容性举措以及社会正义。与此同时，他们声称该机构淡化了美国开国元勋、国家成就和爱国主义主题。
该报告最终断定，史密森学会项目已发生重大偏离其最初使命的转变，称展览越来越多地强调社会正义激进主义和意识形态叙事，而非聚焦于美国的建国原则和国家成就。

该博物馆推出了纪念美国250周年的标志性展览，展出了其馆藏中的250件物品，包括托马斯·杰斐逊的写字台、乔治·华盛顿的制服和《星条旗》。
白宫在该国250周年庆典前两个月表示，该展览只是对现有展品的重新包装，而非打造一个全新的建国时代展览。它还批评该展览未能在美国250岁生日之际，有意义地庆祝美国开国元勋、《独立宣言》或美国革命。
特朗普政府还表示，该展览的宣传材料和项目淡化了爱国主义主题和国家象征。
2026年7月：白宫公布对史密森学会审查的结论
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6400453852112
白宫国内政策委员会发布了其162页的“拯救美国的历史”报告，断定国家美国历史博物馆遭遇了“意识形态绑架”。
该报告建议从博物馆展览中移除其所称的政治激进主义，并恢复强调美国建国原则、国家成就和爱国主义历史的展览。报告称，这些调查结果源于特朗普2025年3月行政命令下令的史密森学会审查。
这份内容广泛的报告包含了展览、展品和标语牌的照片，以及博物馆策展人和领导人的照片。
报告大部分篇幅聚焦于该博物馆如何在展览中对非法移民进行分类和描述。
2026年7月24日：特朗普下令联邦机构落实史密森学会改革
报告发布数小时后，特朗普签署了“恢复史密森学会信任”的行政命令，指示内政部、管理和预算办公室（OMB）、总务管理局（GSA）和白宫国内政策委员会利用现有权力，敦促史密森学会解决报告中的调查结果。

本届政府表示，其努力旨在恢复史密森学会内更具爱国主义色彩的美国历史呈现方式。与此同时，该机构长期以来一直表示，其使命是通过学术研究、调查和公共教育来保护和呈现国家历史，这为关于美国故事应如何讲述的持续辩论埋下了伏笔。
史密森学会未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。

Trump v. Smithsonian: A timeline of how the White House fight over ‘woke’ history unfolded
August 3, 2026 6:00am EDT / Fox News
A 162-page White House report concludes the American History Museum has undergone ‘ideological capture’

Smithsonian faces scrutiny over alleged ideological activism
Fox News reporter Alexandria Hoff has the latest on House Republicans questioning Smithsonian officials over claims of political bias on ‘Special Report.’
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump’s effort to root out what his administration calls “woke” ideology at the Smithsonian has grown into one of the most extensive White House reviews of the institution in decades.
The Smithsonian oversees 21 museums, the National Zoo and nearly 157 million objects and specimens while receiving more than $1 billion annually in federal funding outside of private-side dollars.
The administration’s campaign has placed the taxpayer-supported institution at the center of a broader debate over patriotism, historical interpretation and the role of federally funded cultural institutions amid a growing divide over how people view and retell America’s story.

Over the past 16 months, the administration has examined museum exhibits, educational programming, internal records and leadership statements, issued multiple document requests, interviewed curators and conducted on-site museum walkthroughs.
The effort culminated in a 162-page White House report recommending sweeping reforms and announcing new executive actions aimed at implementing those recommendations.
Here’s a timeline of the major developments.
March 27, 2025: Trump launches effort to root out ‘woke’ ideology at the Smithsonian
Trump signed an executive order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” two months into his second term. The order argues that federal cultural institutions, including the Smithsonian, have promoted “divisive” ideological narratives.
The executive action directs the Trump administration to restore what it describes as a more patriotic presentation of American history. And it tasks the White House Domestic Policy Council and Vice President JD Vance, in his role as a Smithsonian Regent, with reviewing Smithsonian exhibits and programs.
Spring–Summer 2025: White House launches Smithsonian investigation
Following Trump’s executive order, the White House Domestic Policy Council kicked-off an investigation of the Smithsonian, focusing primarily on the National Museum of American History.
Officials reviewed exhibits, educational materials, strategic plans, leadership speeches, museum programming and public statements. During that review, the council documented examples they argue prioritize divisive ideological narratives over a so-called patriotic telling of American history.

White House officials sent Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch a letter formally launching the review ordered by Trump.
The letter directs the institution to turn over exhibition plans, educational materials, internal policies and other records while outlining a review of eight Smithsonian museums to ensure exhibits “celebrate American exceptionalism” and remove what the administration calls divisive narratives.
It also sets deadlines for document production, curator interviews and on-site reviews, with museums instructed to begin revising public-facing content within 120 days.

The White House criticizes the museum for holding no special Independence Day programming in 2025 despite being open on July 4, discontinuing its traditional Flag Day ceremonies, and planning 250th anniversary exhibits and events.
According to the administration, those 250 installations emphasize flaws of the United States while giving insufficient attention to the Founders, the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution.
Dec. 18, 2025: White House says Smithsonian isn’t cooperating with its review
The White House tells Smithsonian Secretary Bunch in a letter that the institution has failed to provide most of the records requested during its review.
Among other things, the review requested exhibition plans, curatorial documents and governance materials be turned over.
At this time, the administration gives the Smithsonian until Jan. 13, 2026, to produce the requested records. It also reminds the institution that federal funding must be used in a manner consistent with Trump’s “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” executive order.

White House investigators complete on-site walkthroughs of Smithsonian museums. During the visits, they reviewed exhibits, educational materials, digital content and internal planning documents as well as interviewed museum staff as part of the administration’s review.
SMITHSONIAN’S NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY PROMOTES ‘EXTREME POLITICAL ACTIVISM,’ WH REPORT ALLEGES
Investigators found during those visits exhibits that they argue emphasized restorative history, decolonization, immigration activism, DEI initiatives and social justice. Meanwhile, it claimed that the institution was downplaying America’s Founders, the nation’s achievements and patriotic themes.
The report ultimately concludes the Smithsonian project has undergone a significant shift away from its original mission, arguing exhibits increasingly emphasize social justice activism and ideological narratives rather than focus on America’s founding principles and national achievements.

The museum debuts its signature exhibition commemorating America’s 250th anniversary, featuring 250 objects from its collection, including Thomas Jefferson’s writing desk, George Washington’s uniform and the Star-Spangled Banner.
The White House said just two months before the country’s 250th celebration that the exhibition repackages existing displays rather than creating a new founding-era exhibit. It also criticized the installation for failing to meaningfully celebrate America’s Founders, the Declaration of Independence or the American Revolution during the nation’s 250th birthday.
The Trump administration also said the exhibit’s promotional materials and programming downplayed patriotic themes and national symbols.
July 2026: White House delivers verdict on Smithsonian review

The White House Domestic Policy Council releases its 162-page “Saving America’s Story” report, concluding that the National Museum of American History has undergone “ideological capture.”
The report recommends removing what it describes as political activism from museum exhibits and restoring displays that emphasize America’s founding principles, national achievements and patriotic history. It says the findings stem from the Smithsonian review ordered by Trump’s March 2025 executive order.
The expansive report included images of exhibits, images of exhibits and placards, as well as curators and leaders of the museum.
It spent much of the report focusing on how the museum classified and portrayed illegal migration in its exhibits.
July 24, 2026: Trump orders federal agencies to carry out Smithsonian reforms
Hours after the report’s release, Trump signs the “Restoring Trust in the Smithsonian Institution” executive order, directing the Interior Department, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), General Services Administrator (GSA) and the White House Domestic Policy Council to use available authorities to encourage the Smithsonian to address the report’s findings.

Trump’s order also instructs the National Park Service (NPS) to install temporary signs outside the National Museum of American History directing visitors to the report and describing the administration’s concerns with the museum’s presentation of American history.

The administration says its effort is intended to restore a more patriotic presentation of American history at the Smithsonian. The institution, meanwhile, has long said its mission is to preserve and present the nation’s history through scholarship, research and public education, setting the stage for continued debate over how America’s story should be told.
The Smithsonian did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
