Trump orders warning signs installed at Smithsonian history museum

President Trump signed an executive order on Friday requiring warning signs to be placed outside the National Museum of American History in Washington. The signs will go on public walkways outside the building. They will tell visitors that some exhibits need to be changed and will direct people to what the government calls accurate information about American history. The museum is part of the Smithsonian Institution. A White House report described the museum's content as reflecting "extreme political activism." The Trump administration has raised concerns about how federal museums present American history. Critics say the order is an example of the government interfering with how public institutions choose to tell historical stories.
