"Sec. 2. Saving our Smithsonian.…including by seeking to remove improper ideology from such properties…."
"Removing improper ideology" doesn't sound at all Soviet or Orwellian.

Imagine every few times you walk out of the front door of your house somebody jumps out and screams "F*CKING C*NT" at you and swings a baseball bat at your head.
