President Joe Biden revoked a recent Trump administration report that aimed to promote “patriotic education” in schools but that historians mocked and rejected as political propaganda.
In an executive order signed on Wednesday in his first day in office, Biden disbanded Donald Trump’s presidential 1776 Commission and withdrew a report it released Monday. Trump established the group in September to rally support from white voters and as a response to The New York Times’ “1619 Project,” which highlights the lasting consequences of slavery in America.
In its report, which Trump hoped would be used in classrooms across the nation, the commission glorifies the country’s founders, plays down America’s role in slavery, condemns the rise of progressive politics and argues that the civil rights movement ran afoul of the “lofty ideals” espoused by the Founding Fathers.
The panel, which included no professional historians of the United States, complained of “false and fashionable ideologies” that depict the country’s story as one of “oppression and victimhood.” Instead, it called for renewed efforts to foster “a brave and honest love for our country.”
Historians widely panned the report, saying it offers a false and outdated version of American history that ignores decades of research.
“It’s an insult to the whole enterprise of education. Education is supposed to help young people learn to think critically,” said David Blight, a Civil War historian at Yale University. “That report is a piece of right-wing propaganda.”
Trump officials heralded the report as “a definitive chronicle of the American founding,” but scholars say it disregards the most basic rules of scholarship. It offers no citations, for example, or a list of its source materials.

Collin, you’re the little bitch mocking the project
That is exactly what a ChiCom-owned traitor to the United States of America should do!!!
“...and withdrew a report it released Monday.”
What does that mean? Meaning the report does not represent the current administrations values?
Deleted it from the record, the history, the archives?
On Blight: “I have been listening to a course given by Yale Historian David Blight entitled The Civil War and Reconstruction Era, 1845-1877. I was interested in the course because I am writing an article this summer involving Reconstruction. ... Blight’s course has a serious deficiency: his regular expressions of political prejudice. I would say every other lecture has a statement that involves a snide wisecrack attacking modern conservatives or Republicans. These statements have nothing to do with the course. The most recent example involves a crack about how Ronald Reagan is these days generally rated in the top 5 of presidents in American history, but Blight can think of no reason for this, except perhaps that there is an airport name for Reagan. ...”
This guy is hell bent on bringing the country down as fast as possible. Midterms will be here before he knows it. There’s a lot to destroy. China and Soros must be cashing in their chips.
Didn’t read the whole article, but those first paragraphs are.... breathtaking. Wow.
After reading this article, one can only conclude that the AB is communist propaganda. If they succeed in overturning this country, they’ll finally understand as they’re manual laboring in the gulags.

If you search for 1776, the report is still there.
Revoked? How do you “revoke” a report. The commission members did have an official status, but their work represents their findings as professionals and as persons of significant life experience.
Too bad all the middle America, working class democrats won’t ever hear about what Biden doesn’t want their kids to learn about.
I was always amazed when talking with rural democrats (farmers, ranchers, working men) how little they knew of the liberal democrats views on things. Especially when it came to the 2nd Amendment.
“Huh? What do you mean they mean they want to come after my guns! My deer rifle ain’t no “assault rifle”!
We are in for a bumpy ride, stolen election and republicans helped.
What’s left of our country?

Pickle smoocher.
If I were a teacher I would make sure my students knew the nation’s history.
Fudds. The 2nd isn’t about deer hunting, it’s about dealing with predators of the two-legged variety, whether unorganized or organized.
At this point you’d probably be turned in for deviating from the government-approved curriculum.
