In a powerful denunciation of what he terms as 'anti-American indoctrination,' Bishop Earl Walker Jackson, a direct descendant of slaves, is speaking out against the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. The black bishop and author has taken aim at the institution for what he calls an ideological capture meant to turn citizens against their own country.
Smithsonian in the Spotlight
Jackson's statements come after a series of exhibitions and educational material presented by the Smithsonian drew sharp criticism for allegedly portraying America in a negative light. According to Jackson, the museum's displays and teachings plant seeds of anger, bitterness, and resentment in society, rather than appreciation and pride in the nation's history.
"Descendant of enslaved ancestors, Earl Walker Jackson, a Black bishop and author, questions Smithsonian’s 'ideological capture' and calls it anti-American indoctrination," tweeted political commentator @Grimillionaire. Read more.
Bishop Jackson, as reported by Fox News Politics, laid the hammer on the NMAH Director, citing a pervasive narrative that, according to him, unjustly vilifies the nation’s legacy and accomplishments. "This is not just about preserving history," Jackson argues, "but about skewing it to fit a divisive narrative."
Praise for Patriotism
Jackson’s brave remarks resonate well with American patriots who feel that there is an ongoing cultural attempt to rewrite history in a way that diminishes the greatness of the U.S. His critique highlights a broader dissatisfaction with the political Left's tactics of using critical institutions to influence public opinion and deepen divisions.
Another tweet from @foxnewspolitics noted, "Bishop Earl Walker Jackson — a great-grandson of slaves — is torching the Smithsonian National Museum of American History for what he calls anti-American 'indoctrination' designed to make citizens 'angry and bitter and resentful' of their own country."

A Call to Action
The fireworks set off by Jackson’s remarks demand an examination of what is being taught in not just museums, but institutions nationwide. Are these American shrines becoming platforms for radical ideologies? How can they pivot back to inspiring pride and unity among citizens?
As this courageous bishop makes clear, the goal is not to erase the uncomfortable pages of history but to ensure that the narrative remains balanced and truthful. In today's heated climate, can Americans afford to ignore such issues any longer? Patriots, the time to act is now. Let your voice be heard!
