Trump rebuts NY Times '1619 Project' with '1776 Report' urging schools to reject 'ideological poison'
Fox ^ | 18 Jan 2021 | Thomas Barrabi

Posted on 01/18/2021 6:31:01 PM PST by blueplum

The President Trump-backed 1776 Commission released a report on the state of American education Monday in what the White House described as a "rebuttal" to the New York Times "1619 Project" and other historical accounts that take a critical view of the country’s earliest days.

"The 1776 report," released on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, was developed in response to Trump’s call to promote "patriotic education" in schools. In the report, the commission argues that schools "should reject any curriculum that promotes one-sided partisan opinions, activist propaganda, or factional ideologies that demean America’s heritage, dishonor our heroes, or deny our principles.

"Neither America nor any other nation has perfectly lived up to the universal truths of equality, liberty, justice and government by consent," the report says. "But no nation before America ever dared state those truths as the formal basis for its politics, and none has strived harder, or done more, to achieve them."

CNN headlines this as a 'racist' report, a headline that is repeated over and over in search results.

CNN believes this is racist: "The report argues that identity politics are "the opposite of King's hope that his children would 'live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.'"

Commission members also took aim at feminists and the wide adoption use of ethnic and racial identities in American life, arguing that they were constructed by "activists."

"A radical women's liberation movement reimagined America as a patriarchal system, asserting that every woman is a victim of oppression by men. The Black Power and black nationalist movements reimagined America as a white supremacist regime. Meanwhile, other activists constructed artificial groupings to further divide Americans by race, creating new categories like 'Asian American' and 'Hispanic' to teach Americans to think of themselves in terms of group identities and to rouse various groups into politically cohesive bodies," the report states.

"While not as barbaric or dehumanizing," the report states, identity politics "creates new hierarchies as unjust as the old hierarchies of the antebellum South, making a mockery of equality with an ever-changing scale of special privileges on the basis of racial and sexual identities." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/trump-administration-issues-racist-school-curriculum-report-on-mlk-day/ar-BB1cRCeP?pfr=1&ocid=uxbndlbing

What many a statehouse could use is neither a "1619 project" or even a "1776 project" but a "1618 Project"

1618 = Third Defenestration of Prague.

..... Ummm .... I’m pretty sure the ‘1776 Report’ will be banned from being taught in schools and categorized as “Hate Speech” .... The new Fist Lady is extremely active in the Teachers Unions so you can pretty much take that to the bank .....

so, we get hold of the report, and we parent. Either incorporate it into homeschool, or have civics-at-home on board-game night. Trump gets it done but we have to follow through, too.

George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. It can be recognized in schools, government offices and businesses on the third Monday of February. It’s a good day to properly fly a proper U.S. flag. It’s a good day to discuss our greatest president with others.

President Trump was our greatest president just after the founding fathers of our nation.

Hats off to Shelby Steele, Robert Woodson, Carol Swain, Clarence Page, and John McWhorter of the "1776" project.

When Clarence Page crosses over to side with Steele and Woodson, the progressive Establishment has a problem.
