Kennedy Center to Remove Trump's Name Following Court Ruling

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is in the process of removing references to Donald Trump following a federal judge's order. A memo obtained by The Atlantic indicates that the center's lawyers instructed employees to eliminate all mentions of Trump in various communications and materials, reverting to the center's original name. This decision follows a court ruling that stated the board exceeded its authority in renaming the center after Trump. The center has 14 days from May 29 to comply with the ruling. The memo also outlines responsibilities for different departments in updating materials and signage. Additionally, the judge issued a preliminary injunction regarding the center's planned closure, stating that board members did not have enough information to make an informed decision about shutting down the institution.
