AS Donald Trump begins an investigation into Smithsonian exhibits, outrage is growing over an exhibit featuring trans athletes.
Conservative attention has shifted towards an exhibit titled Change Your Game.

This exhibit caught the attention of Fox News’ website, Outkick Sports, which featured photos from inside.
One portion of the exhibit asked visitors “Do you think [Lia] Thomas’ participation on the women’s team is fair or foul?”
Fitness influencer Jillian Michaels caught wind of this and went ballistic over the issue.
“[The exhibit]… talks about how it’s complex to do gender testing in sports,” Michaels told CNN.
“It’s not complex. It’s basic science. Is it it fair to have biological men competing against biological women in sports?
“No, but why is this in the Smithsonian?”
The exhibit is currently in the National Museum of American History.
It addresses gender testing, which is part of World Athletics’ new policy.
The governing body is presenting gender screening tests that will use a cheek swab or blood-spot test to detect a Y chromosome.
This is part of World Athletics’ new policy that basically bans transgender athletes.
Outkick Sports writer Dan Zaksheske pointed out that the exhibit is funded by Nike, which “doesn’t make any sense” to him.
“Why does a company that claims to support and lift female athletes refuse to condemn males competing in women’s sports and invading women’s locker rooms?” he said.
“It doesn’t make any sense.
“Unless, of course, Nike isn’t really as interested in promoting women’s sports as they are in promoting left-wing talking points.
“Their political position appears to trump everything else.”

This outcry comes as Trump announced a review of all Smithsonian exhibits.
He aims to align the historic displays with his own interpretation of American history.
“This initiative aims to ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions,” said an open letter to Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch III.
The initiative has been widely opposed.
