President Trump said Sunday that the Department of Education is examining the use of the New York Times Magazine's 1619 Project in schools, and warned that institutions that teach this alternative narrative of American history could lose federal funding.
The project is based on the premise that American history began in 1619 -- cited as the date African slaves arrived in Virginia -- and that everything following this should be viewed through that lens. The Pulitzer Center released a school curriculum based on the project, and Trump responded to a tweet stating that California would be using it.
"Department of Education is looking at this," Trump said. "If so, they will not be funded!"

Trump is the first Republican who’s not intrested in triangulating between the Left and social Conservatives, in order for the GOP Establishment to maintain control of the party.....it has always been in the best interest of the GOPe to stand by idly while our cultural institutions are pushed further and further to the Left.....contempt for social Conservatism is the GOPe’s secret weapon..... No matter how far to the Left society goes, the GOPe are always happy to position themselves just slightly to the Right of wherever we are at any given point
Winning.
Not tired yet.

No one else would do this.
Thank you, Donald Trump. This needs to be done. Every normal American needs to VOTE to thank you for doing what needs to be done.
I love it when leftist heads explode.
Absolutely not. This garbage has no place even being an "option" in our classrooms, in any public school. The 1619 Project is an abomination of SJW revisionist fiction. Might as well have Antifa teach history to our kids.
If parents want to teach this crap to their kids, let them do it themselves on their own time.
As you mentioned elsewhere, parents do need to make their voices heard in what their children are being taught. This has been one positive outcome of the COVID scamdemic. With their kids at home being taught on ZOOM, parents are actually being alerted to some of the crap that their kids are being force fed in the classroom.
Nope. And that's my point. For decades, the GOP has compromised or allowed this crap to take place which has only moved the Overton window even more to the Left. Even when the Dept. of Education was created, Republicans should have been up front fighting its creation.
Now's the time to take a hard stand on the issues.
Thats OK
I teach the 1215 project
And sometimes the 1492 project
Nope. Establishment GOP has been perfectly happy to delegate the teaching of our children to the far left. Little wonder today the streets are filled with middle class white kids with BLM fist tattoos lighting cars on fire.
One of the biggest blunders conservatives made was to denigrate the teaching profession as something beneath them ("Those who can't teach.") thereby allowing liberals to take over the education system in this country. This started happening in the 1960s and has continued ever since.
Muslims in England understand that the education of their children is of paramount importance and in districts where Muslims become sizeable enough, they're taking the schools over. The first thing they're doing is striking down all the LGBT stuff that's being taught. They get it.
Parents need to become involved and retake the school systems.
Boom.
Now, let me suggest the www.wildworldofhistory.com
US 1 & 2 curriculum that specializes in the “Four Pillars of American Exceptionalism.”
Trump is truly the culture warrior for our side.
No other republican “leader” would dare do what he’s doing.
Nice slide. However the destination portion of the slide is somewhat misleading. It’s a bit more complicated.
The slide reflects initial transport out of Africa. Of that 54% represented by items 2, 3 and 4 many of those slaves were then sold into the U.S.
can’t be that many since it’s cheaper to import direct from africa than pay inflated fees to buy them from points south
The problem is this. If you give one administration the ability to totally tie funding into what materials are to be encouraged and which will be forbidden you give that same option to the next one down the line. I assume this involves primary and secondary schools and not colleges.
Please note that I am opposed to the federal government imposing such a mandate. I have no problem with states or local school districts doing the same.
Not sure I agree with that. In any event much of that info is fairly well documented.
“Most slaves who were ultimately brought to the Thirteen British colonies—the Eastern seaboard of what later became the United States—were imported from the Caribbean, not directly from Africa.”

ok
The Mel Gibson movie "Apocalypto" 2006 shows the terror of natives enslaved by the Mayans, who in turn were victimized by the Spaniards. Lots of butchery of the slaves, they had it bad under the Mayans.
US history (as an independent country) started in 1783 with the treaty ending the Revolutionary War; 80 years later the Emancipation Proclamation was signed - and that was nearly 160 years ago (twice as long as legalized slavery in the US).
“400 years” is a lie and a myth from people who have accepted they can’t compete not just with “white devils”, but all of the non-white people (including Africans) who arrive to this day and leave them in the dust.
