Many pointed out that the president cannot hire or fire the heads of any of the Smithsonian Institution\u2019s museums.

And of course, the administration has been trying its best <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/05\/03\/nx-s1-5385888\/sweeping-cuts-hit-nea-after-trump-administration-calls-to-eliminate-the-agency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to cut funding from the National Endowment for the Arts<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> (NEA). Earlier in the year, a group of private organizations made headlines after announcing they would make significant donations to help the NEA fund some of their Challenge America grants. The Andy Warhol Foundation and the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation have collectively pledged $800,000, while the Mellon Foundation announced <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/29\/arts\/mellon-foundation-humanities-endowment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">it would donate $15 million to the Federation of State Humanities Councils<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Mellon Foundation president Phoebe Stein described these funds as \u201ca lifeline for communities across the country who rely on their humanities councils\u2019 programs and grants to fill critical needs and enrich their lives.\u201d However, a federal judge has recently ruled that some of the restrictions placed on NEA grants by the Trump administration are unlawful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As part of his administration\u2019s cultural policy, Trump has demanded that the NEA add an additional layer of review for grant applicants to ensure that no federal funds are given to support artists or cultural organizations that promote \u201cgender ideology\u201d. This specific restriction was implemented as part of Executive Order No. 14168. Of course, what that rather vague term means is that to receive money from the NEA, an artist is forbidden from shining a light on the lived experiences and difficulties of people whose gender and sexual identities do not comply with the simplistic, reductive concepts of heteronormativity and an unchanging gender binary. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of several arts organizations that would have much of their funding denied because some of their work pertains to queer and trans people. By denying funds on political or ideological grounds instead of on artistic merit, the ACLU argued that the new NEA policy, as outlined in Executive Order No. 14168, is both unlawful and unconstitutional. And now, a federal judge has agreed with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Judge William Smith, an appointee of George W. Bush, ruled that the NEA policy, and therefore the executive order, is a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The APA states that the courts must determine when a federal agency has acted \u201cin excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations\u201d. In this case, the NEA policy, implemented in accordance with the executive order, violates the act of Congress that established the NEA in 1965. The law explicitly states that grants and other funding are to be dispersed to support \u201cprojects and productions which have substantial national or international artistic and cultural significance, giving emphasis to American creativity and cultural diversity\u201d. The law also explicitly states that funding should be given to provide a greater voice to underrepresented or disenfranchised groups; or, to quote the law itself, \u201ca minority, inner city, rural, or tribal community\u201d. The ACLU legal team also referenced the minutes of the congressional debates during the NEA\u2019s creation, noting that the legislators who crafted the law intended for there to be safeguards against government-run cultural institutions from being used for expressly political purposes. By instructing a federal agency to act beyond its purview, Trump\u2019s executive order and, therefore, the NEA policy violate the APA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Judge Smith also found that the NEA\u2019s policy created by Trump\u2019s executive order violates the First Amendment. Specifically, the new restrictions that the order and the policy implement are \u201ca restriction on artists\u2019 speech, and one that is viewpoint based, because it assigns negative weight to the expression of certain ideas on the issue of gender identity.\u201d Smith went into detail on whether art created with the help of NEA grants or funding is considered government speech or private speech. If it is government speech, then there would be no First Amendment violation. However, he decided that since the NEA has no editorial control, the government has no role in shaping the content or message of these works of art, making NEA-funded works private speech. He therefore declared that the NEA is now \u201cpermanently enjoined\u201d from applying \u201ca viewpoint-based standard of review\u201d, and that the arts organizations that the ACLU represented in the case cannot be made to comply with Trump\u2019s executive order when using NEA grants.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal court has prohibited the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) from implementing President Donald Trump&#8217;s executive order barring grants to organizations promoting \u201cgender ideology\u201d.
