White House Report Accuses Smithsonian of 'Anti-White Activism,' Raising New Questions Over Federal Oversight of the Arts

This publication treats culture-war disputes over the arts as a question of institutional design, not of partisan point-scoring. Where the administration frames a finding, Monexus reports the framing; where the arts world offers a counter-read, that counter-read appears with the same weight. The underlying dispute — over who decides what a national museum is for — is one that the public, not the executive alone, will eventually have to settle.
