The Nazis rejected the modern art movement believing it to be degenerate & anti-German. Goebbels was put in charge of the cleansing & determining what art was acceptable. Vance is now on the Smithsonian board. Anything deemed anti-American will be erased. Protect the Smithsonian from censorship.

Take inspiration from it.
