The scholars behind a Smithsonian exhibition targeted by the Trump administration have built their careers around the same race, gender, sexuality and social-justice themes now fueling accusations of ideological bias at the museum, a Fox News Digital review found.
Entertainment Nation, which opened in December 2022, is an ongoing exhibition at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History that uses artifacts from music, film, television, theater and sports to examine how popular culture has shaped American life.
Every member of the exhibit’s seven-person curatorial team has incorporated themes involving racial injustice, gender inequality, sexuality or other progressive social causes into their academic work, public commentary or prior museum projects.
Fox News Digital’s review found praise for communist-linked figures, alignment with progressive activist movements and explicit statements connecting museum work to social justice.
