Washington DC - A bill revealed by MAGA Senator Jim Banks is designed to codify one of President Donald Trump's executive orders and dictate the history that can be taught at national museums like the Smithsonian.

The "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History Act" is set to be introduced to Congress, MAGA Senator Jim Banks told the New York Post on Tuesday.

It is designed to codify an executive order issued by Trump in March.

"It's time to stop letting activists rewrite our past," Banks said.

"This bill puts President Trump's order into law to ensure our national museums celebrate our values, our heroes, and what makes America great."

The move is part of a concerted effort by MAGA Republicans to undermine the representation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) topics across organizations, including universities and museums, funded by the federal government.

In January, Trump ordered a total shutdown of government DEI programs. This has flowed into cultural institutions like museums, which the Trump administration does not want to address issues of race, climate change, and more.

Budget documents released earlier this year indicate that the Trump administration aims to cut the Smithsonian Institution's funding by at least 12% overall and cancel a planned museum dedicated to Latino history.

Vice President JD Vance has been put in charge of efforts to "remove improper ideology" from institutions like the Smithsonian, which operates 21 internationally renowned museums and galleries across the country.

"Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our National's history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth," read Trump's executive order.
