S 2385 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History Act

This bill directs federal agencies to alter how American history is presented at national sites like the Smithsonian museums and Independence National Historical Park. It requires removing exhibits or content that the bill claims "divide Americans based on race," "recognize men as women," or "degrade shared American values," including specific mentions of the Smithsonian's "Shape of Power" exhibit and plans for the American Women's History Museum. The bill mandates restoring pre-2020 monuments and funding infrastructure at Independence National Historical Park by 2026. It also directs the Vice President to work with the Smithsonian Board to enforce these changes, including restricting funding for exhibits promoting "gender-affirming medicine for minors" or male athletes in women's sports. The bill does not create new funding but directs existing agencies to realign current operations with its stated policy.
