Smithsonian's woke leadership must go before America's 250th

Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch III survived another meeting of the governing Board of Regents this week. The secretive conclave took place Monday, and according to a spokesperson who clearly didn’t want to talk: “They didn’t vote on anything.”

The next scheduled meeting is June 8, less than a month before the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of its independence. That’s way too late to clean house at an institution that, under present leadership, clearly sees the milestone as more of an opportunity to expiate sins than celebrate virtues.
