President Trump announced the 1776 Commission designed to promote patriotic education and push back against leftist indoctrination efforts such as the 1619 Project .
The 1619 Project is a fact-challenged effort to rewrite the history of America as the date African slaves arrived in Virginia.
Developed by the New York Times, it is described as an effort “to reframe the country’s history” by focusing almost exclusively on slavery.
The President accused Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and the Times of corrupting history and education while offering a counterproposal .
“I will soon sign an executive order establishing a national commission to promote patriotic education,” Trump said at a speech at the National Archives.
“It will be called the ‘1776 Commission.'”
He added that this new effort is designed to “encourage our educators to teach your children about the miracle of American history.”
In doing so, it will “make plans to honor the 250th anniversary of our founding.”
