| From the Washington Post: President Donald Trump on Friday announced plans to overhaul the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, writing that he had decided to “immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees,” including chairman David M. Rubenstein, in a post on Truth Social. He added that he plans to install himself as the new chairman of the prominent arts institution. The moves comes on the heels of Trump’s directives reshaping several Washington cultural institutions. Following Trump’s executive order declaring diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as “illegal and immoral discrimination programs,” The Smithsonian Institution announced last week it is closing its diversity office, freezing federal hiring and requiring workers to return to office five days a week. |
