At The Coloarado Sun, Mike Littwin reports that he has found a quotation from George Orwell that illuminates why the Trump maladministration is attacking the Smithsonian (and I would add, by extension, universities and other institutiolns of learning and remembrance):

From Orwell’s “1984”: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

The point is to gain power for a reactionary kind of political and cultural view — hence the movement’s constant insistence on the submission of women to men; the sympathy for the Old South, even to the point of defending slavery; constant attacks on gay and transgender people; occasionally downplaying the Holocaust and so on — and Christianity is a pretty cloak to wrap that foul project in.
