1776 Commission Director: Abolishing the Commission Won’t ‘Get Rid of These Principles’

Dr. Matthew Spalding, a professor of constitutional government and Dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College was interviewed by The Epoch Times’ program (American Thought Leaders). He was the executive director of the ( 1776 Commission), created by executive order by former President Donald Trump.

The host of the program, Jan Jekielek, asked him some key questions highly relevant to the current intense political zeitgeist, allowing Spalding to cast lucidity on the partially forgotten, at least for the younger generations, ideals of 1776.

The new Biden administration has abolished the 1776 commission, a history-centered, patriotic education program that calls for remembrance of and upholding the nation’s founding principles.

"The new Biden administration has abolished the 1776 commission, a history-centered, patriotic education program that calls for remembrance of and upholding the nation’s founding principles."

Parents, look what this administration is denying your child...his or her the history of their country...but left intact the 1619 project. If everyone read Adam Hocheschild's "Bury the Chains" a history of slavery before America as a colony, began her history of that industry...and the reason Biden's administration dropped President Trump's 1776 in a disagreement over the phrase, "all men are created equal..." American slavery was like all things dealing with human slavery everywhere, even today, not a pretty picture. John Newton, an Anglican Priest and author of "Amazing Grace" was a slave trader and as written..."he saw no wrong in what he did." Such was accepted from the beginning of human kind. Another historian on slavery is David Brion Davis...slaves were of all races, not as narrow as the exaggerated/political tradition is about American slavery. Abolitionist from the beginning, fought an up-hill battle, still do.

Cancel the Cancel Culture.

It’s to the point where it’s We The People vs. the forces of Satan.

As was the case with Sodom and Gamorrah, there is NOTHING good in these evil creeps.

NOTHING.

...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security....
