It’s a good idea to strongly oppose any money the Smithsonian wants for identity politics. The nuclear family and arriving on time, according to the Smithsonian African-American Museum, were prejudiced. The head of the Smithsonian Feminist Museum has been charged with sexual harassment. The conflict shifts to the Smithsonian Latino Museum until the LGBTQ Museum appears. In the midst of a dispute over the museum’s contents that has thrown its funding prospects into the larger conflict over its financial 2024 budget, elaborations on establishing the national museum of Mexican history and culture are in the works.
The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the British Latino, which was approved by Congress in 2020, is prohibited from receiving any tax dollars from the national government under an internal and environmental funding bill that the House Appropriations Committee approved on Wednesday.
The museum’s quick future is now in the hands of very politicized budget negotiations in Congress because there is no funding for a project that has been an important priority for many U.S. Latinos. There aren’t many Latinos beyond of Washington, D.C., who have heard of or care about a Smithsonian Museum. Rep. Adriano Espaillat( D-N ) spoke at the Appropriations hearing on Wednesday. Y. ) introduced a proposal, which was rejected 27 – 33, to give the museum funding back.
” The Hispanic community is certainly a closed-off group.” Republicans’ desire to insert a stake into the Smithsonian Museum honoring Mexican culture in America is unethical because we are such diverse people, Espaillat wrote on Twitter. The Republicans who are hammering a stake through it are Latino. Additionally, they despise the museum’s proposed action. The first exhibit at the museum is blatantly communist and, to be honest, disrespectful. It portrays Hispanics as America’s victims, army deserters, drag queens, and traitors; it also makes the argument that leaving a U.S. defense outpost is honorable.
Rep. Mike Garcia( R – CA ) stated that” whoever put the exhibit together was trying to make us feel ashamed of being American.”
It makes the fictitious claim that Cubans arrived here for financial reasons, ending their exile from communism( the violent, more than 60-year-long Castro tyranny does not merit a mention ). It claims that the Texas Revolution was fought to make sure Texas would become a slave state.
This deceptive exhibit( suddenly, a preview of what the museum will become ) claims that Puerto Rico was invaded by the United States in 1898 and was not freed from Spanish colonial rule. Surprisingly, the exhibit emphasizes gender and trans issues in a way that is at odds with the Spanish experience, as will the museum if the ground is always broken.
But as Diaz-Balart made distinct, what matters is what the curators of the exhibit chose to emphasize. One of the 60 Latino Medal of Honor recipients could have been mentioned, for instance. About all they didn’t do that, though. They could have discussed the 65th Infantry Regiment of Puerto Rico, which was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Nope.
Let me give you an example from that exhibit, No. 1 of Latinos serving in the military,” Diaz – Balart continued.” Here it is— a convicted deserter— in exhibit that the majority of you haven’t seen. Does anyone around believe that is a Latino serving in the military? The gallery begins with a focus on the U.S. bombing of the Spanish base in San Juan, which is typical of this presentation, before turning its attention to the previous Republican-linked governor of Puerto Rico. The United States suddenly gave Puerto Ricans the chance to choose Luis Muoz Marn as their primary governor in 1948. Puerto Rico was given a new status in 1952 by Muoz Marn, known as the commonwealth or, more strangely,” an associated free state” in Spanish. Puerto Ricans are involved in the democracy of the commonwealth. Group texts from Governor Ricardo A. Rosselló that contained racist and misogynistic remarks were leaked in July 2019. 500, 000 Puerto Ricans subsequently staged a protest to have Rosselló removed from office. Rosselló resigned on August 2, 2019, as a result of these protests and public pressure. This attack ad and smear campaign is being funded by taxpayers and costing many millions of dollars, not by any historical museum. The central tenet of Marxism is that America must be destroyed because it is bad. the opening paragraph of Presente! ” Is” Colonial Legacies. The case” examines three key themes: the brutality of European colonization and its reliance on slavery on the left side of the case; the resistance of various colonized peoples in the middle; and the first colonialization of modern-day eastern United States.” Nobody needs, wants, supports, or should be paying for this.
The Smithsonian African-American Museum declared that the nuclear family, and showing up on time to work were racist. The Smithsonian Feminist Museum has fired its head over sexual harassment allegations. The battle will continue until the Smithsonian LGBTQ Museum arrives.
The House Appropriations Committee approved a funding bill for interior and the environment on Wednesday that prohibits the federal government to spend any taxpayer money on the National Museum of the American Latino (part of the Smithsonian Institution), which was approved by Congress back in 2020.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-NY, introduced an amendment at Wednesday’s Appropriations Hearing to restore funding for the museum. It was defeated by a vote of 27-33.
“The Latino Community is not monolithic.” The Republicans who are driving a stake in the Smithsonian Museum to honor Latino culture is unacceptable. They hate what the museum wants to do. The museum’s first exhibit is unrelentingly liberal and, frankly, offensive. It portrays Hispanics in a negative light, as America’s victims. It also depicts them as army deserters and drag queens.
Rep. Mike Garcia, R-CA, said that the exhibit was designed to make Americans ashamed of their nationality.
It pretends Cubans came to the United States for economic reasons and erases their flight from communism. (The cruel, 60-year Castro tyranny is not mentioned). It claims that the Texas Revolution was fought to make Texas a slave state.
This mendacious exhibition (again a preview of what the museum will be) claims that Puerto Rico was not saved by Spain from colonial grips in 1898 but instead invaded by the United States. The exhibit, and the museum, if it ever opens, will place a focus on gender and trans issues, which is at odds with Hispanic culture.
Diaz-Balart explained that it is the curators’ choice to highlight certain aspects of the exhibit that is important. “They could have mentioned one of the 60 Latino Medal of Honor recipients, for example. They didn’t mention any of the Latino Medal of Honor Recipients. They could have mentioned Puerto Rico’s 65th Infantry Regiment, who received the Congressional Gold Medal. Nope.
“Let me tell what this exhibit shows as the No. 1 example of Latinos in the armed forces,” Diaz-Balart continued. Diaz-Balart went on to say that Latinos are the number one group in the armed services. Here is an exhibit that most of you will not have seen before — a convicted Deserter. Does anyone think that’s a Latino serving in the armed services?” Typical of this presentation the gallery begins with a focus of the U.S. bombardment of the Spanish base at San Juan, and then launches an assault on the former Republican-linked Governor of Puerto Rico. In 1948, the United States allowed Puerto Ricans finally to elect their first Governor, Luis Munoz Marin. Munoz Marin gave Puerto Rico a new status in 1952. He created the commonwealth or, as it is called in Spanish, “an associated state”. Puerto Ricans actively participate in the democracy of the commonwealth. In July 2019, group texts containing misogynistic remarks and homophobic remarks from Governor Ricardo A. Rossello, were leaked. In response, 500,000 Puerto Ricans marched to remove Rossello. The first section of ‘Presente’ is entitled “Colonial Legacies”. This case explores three main themes: the brutality of European colonization and its dependence on slavery, and the resistance of different colonized peoples in the middle. The first section of!Presente! is entitled “Colonial Legacy.” This case explores three major themes: the brutality and dependence of European colonization on slavery, the resistance of colonized peoples, and the early colonization in today’s Western United States.
