(b) POLICY STATEMENT.—It is the policy of this 
Act— 
(1) to restore Federal sites dedicated to history,

record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human 
flourishing;

to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divi-
sive narratives that distort our shared history; and 
(3) to restore the Smithsonian Institution to its 
rightful place as a symbol of inspiration and Amer-
ican greatness—igniting the imagination of young

all Americans.
