In a move that tests the boundary between political authority and scholarly independence, President Trump has ordered warning labels placed throughout the National Museum of American History, directing that exhibits the White House deems ideologically suspect be flagged for visitors. The justification rests on an internally produced report that historians and civil liberties advocates have swiftly challenged. At stake is a question as old as power itself: who holds the right to shape a society's understanding of its own past.
