- Smithsonian urged to withdraw from retreat with workshop run by educator with history of extreme rhetoric
The Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture is being urged to withdraw from an academic retreat due to concerns about workshop leader Ismael Jimenez, who has faced criticism for controversial curriculum initiatives and anti-Israel comments. A watchdog group, North American Values Institute, argues the Smithsonian risks legitimizing politically biased education by participating in the event co-hosted by the University at Buffalo's Center for K-12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education.
