The media are lying about the 1776 Report

President Trump created the 1776 Commission by executive order last year as part of an effort to counter the leftist narrative taking over our public schools. Unsurprisingly, the commission’s first report has been met with nothing but hostility.

Spurred in part by the New York Times’s ahistorical 1619 Project, the 1776 Report seeks to correct some of the central claims made by the 1619 Project’s authors and provide an answer to the Left’s overly negative interpretation of American history.

Contrary to what the 1619 Project might suggest, the American Revolution was not fought to preserve the institution of slavery, the commission says. Rather, America’s founders fully intended to put slavery on the path toward extinction and believed that the country was already heading in that direction.

The report continues: To take slavery out of its necessary context is to do a disservice to America’s principles. To be sure, slavery was an ugly reality that deeply stained this country’s character. But it was not a uniquely American evil, and its perpetrators ultimately failed to overthrow the value that defines America to this day: the Declaration of Independence’s claim that “all men are created equal.”

“Neither America nor any other nation has perfectly lived up to the universal truths of equality, liberty, justice and government by consent,” the report states. “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.”

The 1776 Report’s goal is simple: It makes the case for the American founding and against the ideologies that seek to overturn it, such as identity politics. It does so quite successfully, which is why it should come as no surprise that the media are up in arms

***The media are lying about the 1776 Report***

The media are lying about almost everything! Even be wary about weather reports.

Thanks for the ping.

Slavery has existed for a long time and it still exists in some countries today.

Prior to 1776, the colonists were under the rule of Britain.

The US outlawed slavery-has any nation in the world eliminated it faster than the USA? Not that I know of.

Liars, Liberals, and Leninites can’t stand the truth.

“Even be wary about weather reports.”

Somebody should have told Ron Brown about that one.

Yes, although I have doubts about the weather. :^/

Meanwhile the Left is pushing the 1619 project which is a testament to their hatred for America and its founding.

[Bellflower]

He very likely would!

Has Biden disbanded the commission yet?

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure. The British Empire officially banned slavery in 1807 and paid off slaveholders in 1833 (sort of an expropriation).
