Headline: New York Times, 1/15/2026
Jennifer Schuessler reports on the latest effort by the Trump admiration to whitewash American history:
The National Endowment for the Humanities on Thursday announced $71 million in new grants, including nearly $40 million to classical humanities institutes and civic leadership programs that have been promoted by conservatives as a counterweight to liberal-dominated higher education.
The grants, awarded to 84 projects across the country, come as the Trump administration has moved to bring the agency into line with its priorities, sometimes directing money to ideological allies.
They include support for museum exhibits, scholarly publications and other work the endowment has long supported. But the majority of the funding — including three grants of $10 million, among the largest in the agency’s history — goes to hiring faculty, recruiting students and developing courses at classical humanities programs and civic centers.
