Museums are a social tool for constructing values and disciplining populations, thereby shaping the present and future.
Investments in public history at museums are almost always about a desired future.
Good exhibits handle this with integrity and transparency.

The crux of their argument is that if they're found liable, then the consequences of their own actions that no one forced them to take could ruin them and the rest of their industry that undertakes similar practices.

Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.

Look at all of the tragic collisions involving pedestrian and cyclists just this month. Sidewalks and bike lanes save lives and make mobility possible for people of all ages and income levels. They should not be optional depending on the whims of nearby residents.

During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year.
Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

Suggest your own spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail and other Crown corporations
Nearly all government departments and federally-funded organizations are expected to propose "savings" of up to 15 per cent of their spending in the next three years.

Who gets to determine what is “negative about either past or living Americans”? Seems like Indigenous perspectives are erased to appease a settler colonial mindset that cannot confront a violent colonial history in the shaping of the US west. This is why history matters
