Abnormal people run the museum

View in browser
I very much doubt I'm the only person who finds his professional associations an embarrassment.

For me it's history, for you it could be medicine or any number of other fields. But for some reason, the professional associations are determined to be grotesque.

In my field it's the Organization of American Historians. They adopt ideological positions they simply assume all their members share, and their annual conferences are an amalgam of every left-wing obsession you've ever heard of, plus a dozen more.

Well, they are not happy about the recent White House report on the ideological capture of the Smithsonian Institution ("Saving America's Story: How Ideological Capture at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History Erases Our Heritage"). Not happy at all. Why, they should be allowed to turn American history into a cartoon of villains and oppressors, and we peons should have to sit back and take it.

That isn't the wording they would use, of course; as Professor Kevin Gutzman puts it, "They pretend that their wholesale transformation of American history into a story completely congenial to partisans of the Democratic Party were down-the-line neutral/objective."

Naturally, they claim to be innocently seeking to remind Americans of the injustices woven into their history, and that dumb yokels don't want them to do that. That is not what is happening.

I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised by this 162-page White House report, which is an effective exposé of the staff and goals of the current Smithsonian. It is worse than you can imagine, with materials from the evil Southern Poverty Law Center being used for educational purposes. The enormities are far too many to list.

Here's a sample: 

The Museum’s Interpretive Plan directs staff to, “whatever the topic,” tie exhibits back to a set of seven “core issues of our time” -- specifically, race/identity, gender/sexuality, climate change, immigration/migrations, economic inequality, technological change, and nationalism/globalism -- as part of its “commitment to relevance.”

The result is that visitors encounter the same ideological storyline over and over again, whether the subject is democracy, entertainment, immigration, childhood, women’s labor, sports, or early American settlement. The complaint is not that these subjects should never be discussed, but that they are increasingly presented through one dominant worldview -- one that assumes America’s institutions are chiefly instruments of oppression and that the Museum’s duty is to provoke visitors into activist forms of political resistance to that alleged oppression.

My only complaint is that the White House criticisms about the museum don't go far enough, and that conservatives themselves are still in thrall to too much progressive mythology, but I'll take what I can get.

The people running the museum haven't been particularly subtle about their approach. Anthea Hartig has been the National Museum of American History's director since 2019. She describes history as a "prime tool of social justice" and that her roles as director include connecting "research and scholarship to activism and advocacy."

More from the report:

A visitor to the Museum today will find no major exhibit dedicated to America’s Founding era, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, other Founding Fathers, the Continental Congress, the Pilgrims, the Puritans, or major moments of the American Revolution, such as Washington’s crossing of the Delaware. Instead, visitors will find Founders, such as Benjamin Franklin, introduced chiefly through their connection to slavery while their decisive roles in building the Republic and their anti-slavery efforts are minimized or ignored....

White, male, and Christian Americans are regularly denigrated as the alleged embodiment of oppressive power structures. Exhibits frame the Pilgrims mainly as colonial oppressors, Thanksgiving as a "National Day of Mourning," and the European settlement of the continent chiefly as a great "unsettling."

The Jacobin approach to history is always this way. When you seek the total transformation of society, the older version of that society must be portrayed as wicked, and those who cling to it as evil and deranged. The existing society must be shamed and demoralized.

I try to be on my best behavior in these emails (better than I am on Twitter, where it's Woods unleashed 24/7), but screw these people.

They are why I have Liberty Classroom, my truth-telling dashboard university for adult enrichment.

And in fourteen years I have done right by my readers and never raised the price on it. Your inflation rate vis-a-vis Liberty Classroom has been zero.

But stick it to the crazies at the Smithsonian and make today the day you join -- and I promise, you will not be called an oppressor even once:

As Dr. House once said, mistakes are as serious as the results they cause. And, in the case of big companies, those mistakes can be just as big, often measured in terms of lost jobs and money. From poor marketing decisions to small mistakes that cause multi-million dollar losses, the types of blunders made by some of these companies and individuals are nothing short of breathtaking— and not in a good way. Take a look at the following 10 stories of failure. Did you know any of these?
