President Trump establishes '1776 Commission' to promote 'patriotic education' and counter attempts to 'distort' America's history

President Donald Trump established on Monday a new advisory commission to "promote patriotic education" and "protect America's founding" while countering educational attempts to describe America as a systemically racist country.

Calling all Americans to take back our constitutional freedoms

The 1776 Commission, as it is called, will aim to "improve understanding of the history and the principles of the founding of the United States among our Nation's rising generations," according to a White House news release.

Trump announced the forthcoming initiative in a speech in September, during which he denounced "cancel culture," critical race theory, and the New York Times' revisionist 1619 Project as "toxic propaganda" and "ideological poison."

During the speech, the president also connected recent violence stemming from Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots to "decades of left-wing indoctrination in our schools."

An executive order establishing the commission noted that "in recent years, a series of polemics grounded in poor scholarship has vilified our Founders and our founding," leading many students to be "taught in school to hate their own country, and to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes, but rather villains."

He should get rid of Howard Zinn’s so called history book and use the LS (Larry Schweikart) history book.

I hope David Barton is a part of that. I heard him give a talk on the history of slavery just last week. Most of the “history” we’ve been taught isn’t true.

Does anyone have a link to that most recent Trump re-election ad, the one that opens with the shadow of Air Force One coming in for a landing?. Thanks.

I was just up late last night worrying about this ‘cancel culture’ crap of the left.

This is good news!

Noam Chomsky should be given a homework assignment to write a paper on Maximilien Robespierre and his wonderful toy.
