The snake-bitten leaders of the Smithsonian Institution on Monday forced a vote by their governing board of Regents to transfer a building on the National Mall to the controversial National Museum of the American Latino. It was, at best, a delaying tactic by a woke leadership trying to run out the clock on the Trump administration.

In fact, just before the vote, the administration released a stern letter to the Regents, requesting that they meet in person with the Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and the head of the White House’s Domestic Policy Council Vince Haley, so the members can explain what they will do to rein in a Smithsonian leadership currently using the museums to indoctrinate Americans against their own country.
