Smithsonian head disputes White House report in memo to staff

Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch issued a memo to staff defending their work following a White House report. The report claims that the Smithsonian Museum has featured explicit and transgender exhibits, asserting that the institution explicitly adopted an ideological framework. While the White House report criticizes these specific displays and the underlying framework, Bunch used the internal email to support his staff members who are currently under fire due to the findings of the report.
