In this episode of The Counterrevolution Podcast, John Rushemeza reacts to the Heritage Foundation’s video Radical Shift: Inside the Smithsonian’s Ideological Takeover with Mike Gonzalez — and shows why this is not just a museum story. It is an education story.
The Smithsonian reaches tens of millions of visitors a year plus millions more through curriculum and educational materials. Today its leadership openly treats the National Museum of American History as “a tool for social change.” That is critical pedagogy. That is cultural Marxism using history as an instrument. And it is the same logic that captured K–12.
