      The Smithsonian has to follow orders, even if they don’t want to because it would mean cutting their funding or ending up freezing it.

      There should be an amendment that protects the Smithsonian from this without the risk of having its funds frozen.

        I thought we decided no one “has to” follow orders in 1945.

        Refuse and make them drag you out screaming. Throw a shit fit. Stand up for something for once in your fucking lives, it’s not that hard. I had some dude claiming to be with ice asking for one of my students, I told him to go talk to the campus police. Did I get fired? No. Was I dragged away? Also no. Having more than a toothpick for a spine isn’t that hard.

        As a museum, if they’re more willing to “follow orders” than they are to present actual fact, they fucking deserve to have every penny of their funding cut.
