The Inherent Fraud of ‘The 1619 Project’
American Thinker ^ | 15 Oct, 2021 | Jeff M. Lewis

Examining the grand tapestry of American history doesn’t fit the left’s narrative.

First and foremost, here’s a “shout out,” a “tip of the hat.” and a “thumbs up” to Stephen B. Young, who wrote Refutation of the 1619 Project is right there in the creation of the Continental Congress for American Thinker. It has been good to see my fellow Americans and historical scholars challenge the validity of “The 1619 Project,” doing everything from 1776 Unites to the newly released book, Debunking the 1619 Project by Mary Grabar, Ph.D. (Prof. Grabar also wrote Debunking Howard Zinn.) We need to make sure these two books are part of a balanced approach to teaching the whole truth about American history. These efforts are the commendable and patriotic response of those who clearly discern America’s unique place in human history.

How American history has been taught, and consequently viewed, will remain a matter of controversy. It will be our perpetual responsibility to examine closely our history and discern the lessons learned so they are not repeated.

The goal of the 1619 project is to create a next generation of society that hate the principles of the founding of the USA so they will agree to it being torn down and replaced with something “better”, communism controlled by our elite ruling class.

Again, for all of you who want a concise, well-researched synopsis of why the 1619 Project is fundamentally wrong, go to my website www.wildworldofhistory.com and sign up for the VIP subscription. One of the many lessons there (10 videos) is “The 1620 Default,” which explains why Plymouth, not Jamestown, was the basis for American exceptionalism & why slavery was irrelevant to the story of American exceptionalism.

In addition you get ongoing series on Reagan (10 vids), The Horrible History of Howard Zinn (3 vids), Enduring Lessons on Life & Citizenship (especially aimed at kids, 7 vids), all of my Celebrity Interviews (Seb Gorka, Clint Black, Nick Searcy, John Rich, Rudy Sarzo, Brian Freeman, Tracey Beanz, Richard Baris) and all of my archived Wild Wednesday Webcasts (maybe 25 hour long shows), PLUS my free ebook, “All Thumbs: how our obsession with cell phones & devices is damaging our kids & restructuring our lives.”
