Larry Wilson: As a boorish president tries to revise history, and art

On March 29, 2025, at 7:00 AM PDT, an article was published regarding an executive order aiming to restore truth and sanity to American history by mandating a national art style.
Over the past decade, there has been a perceived effort to rewrite American history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative.
The executive order, which appeared at 3:55 p.m. PDT Thursday, focuses on the greatness of American achievements and the beauty of the American landscape, particularly within the Smithsonian Institution museums.
The Administration's policy aims to restore Federal sites, including parks and museums, into solemn and uplifting monuments that remind Americans of their heritage, progress, and record of advancing liberty.
This initiative appears to disregard the National Museum of African American History and Culture due to its focus on the uncomfortable subject of race, and is perceived by some as a naive return to a specific art world.
