IN PICTURES: Historic Smithsonian museum packed with woke political messaging on race and gender

As the Smithsonian Institution continues to face scrutiny over its leftward drift, a Fox News Digital tour of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History revealed exhibits that present the nation's past through the lens of oppression of minority groups.

Perhaps nowhere in the museum was that more apparent than the popular Entertainment Nation Exhibit.

The series of installations, focused mainly on sports, television and music, is a ubiquitous hotbed of woke history .

One display focuses on the 2010 "Los Suns" protest, which features a special basketball jersey worn by a Phoenix Suns player during the protest.

SMITHSONIAN AMERICA 250 EXHIBIT FEATURES 3X MORE LIBERAL ITEMS THAN CONSERVATIVE ONES "In solidarity with the Latinx community, the Phoenix Suns basketball team challenged Arizona’s new immigration law on the court," says the headline of a placard explaining the display.

"In 2010 Arizona empowered police to question anyone on their immigration status, in effect targeting any Spanish-speaking person with brown skin," the placard says, adding that the professional team described the state's new law as a violation of "our basic principles of equal rights and protection under the law." A mannequin head displays the hijab worn by the first Muslim woman to win a major ice skating competition while wearing the religious head covering.

Another display links a 2014 "X-Men" movie to the Black Lives Matter movement , which sparked during the summer of that year.

"As #BlackLivesMatter went viral in the summer of 2014, one of the first Black woman superheroes was fighting discrimination on the big screen," says the headline on the placard for that display.

DESCENDANT OF SLAVES SHAMES SMITHSONIAN’S WOKE ‘INDOCTRINATION’ AGAINST THE ‘GREATEST NATION ON EARTH’ The writing describes the main characters in the fantasy the film faced discrimination for "being different," Halle Berry was the lead actress in the film, and her costume is featured in the museum.

The exhibit also pays homage to the massively successful mid-2010's show "Glee," which ran for eight seasons.

Its placard says the show "celebrated the arts, and, most importantly, humanity." "The television series Glee told the story of a fictional high school glee club comprised of a diverse group of students: Black, white, Asian, straight, LGBTQ+, disabled, brassy, rebellious, shy, and geeky.

Even as they grappled with navigating interpersonal conflicts and developing their identities as young adults, they came together to support each other and sing as one—exemplifying the motto on a plaque in their school auditorium: 'See the world not as it is, but as it should be,'" says the placard.
