(From Seventh District Congressman Eric Burlison)On Tuesday, the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency held a hearing titled "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian's Efforts to Reshape the Past."
The hearing exposed that the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has lost sight of its responsibility to tell America's story with confidence, favoring ideology over history.
During the hearing, I questioned Director Anthea Hartig about her past remarks on moving beyond an "America First mentality" and made the case that our national museum should instead lead in celebrating the principles and people that shaped the United States.
