WASHINGTON — A House Oversight panel is demanding answers from the National Museum of American History’s director over its “divisive” and “politically tendentious” exhibits on the country. Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairman Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) is demanding NMAH Director Anthea Hartig testify on the museum’s “woke” exhibits next Tuesday. The push comes in response to a scathing White House report last week that concluded the Smithsonian Institution’s leadership “cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.” “As an organization that receives 62 percent of its funds from the federal government, the Smithsonian Institution should serve the American people, not promote an ideologically charged agenda,” Burchett wrote in a missive to Hartig obtained by The Post. “Congress and the American people must understand why they should continue to fund and support the work of the NMAH in light of the content highlighted in the [Domestic Policy Council] DPC report, and of your own remarks, as the head of NMAH, concerning the purpose of public history.” In its withering report, the DPC accused the iconic museum of treating traditional patriotic narratives “with suspicion” and downplaying the impact of the Founding Fathers.
