BREAKING: UNC Grants Tenure to CRT Promoter, Founder of Disgraced '1619 Project'

On Wednesday, trustees for the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill voted to grant tenure to New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones, founder of the notorious “1619 Project.”

UNC had earlier revoked the offer of tenure, which usually forms part of the deal for a Knight Chair professorship. Conservatives spoke out against UNC’s move hiring Hannah-Jones, whose project pushes Marxist critical race theory, divides Americans by race, and arguably helped inspire the Black Lives Matter and antifa riots last summer.

The 1619 Project twists American history along the lines of Marxist critical race theory, reframing many aspects of American life as rooted in race-based slavery and oppression, including capitalism, the consumption of sugar, and America’s rejection of 100 percent government-funded health care. The project goes right to the heart of America, featuring graphics crossing out “July 4, 1776” and replacing the founding date with “August 20, 1619.”

The Smithsonian Magazine disputed the 1619 Project, explaining that the Spanish brought slaves to present-day South Carolina in 1526. Scholars have demanded that the Pulitzer Prize board revoke the prize awarded to Hannah-Jones and the 1619 Project.

Of course, the 1619 Project is also false in a much deeper sense. Its narrative delegitimizes the very real benefits of American freedom and prosperity by claiming that racist oppression is the central truth behind the country’s ideals .

By hiring Nikole Hannah-Jones, UNC sent a chilling message to prospective conservative students who are considering journalism. Trustees were right to raise objections, and the school should reconsider aligning with this deceptive effort. Unfortunately, the school reversed course on denying Hannah-Jones tenure, only lending more undeserved credibility to this CRT smear merchant.

Spineless group-think academic bureaucrats would never dare deny the woke race-mongering black woman a position.

You did not lose anything. They did you a favor and you did not know it.

Right up there with “Roots”
Alex Haley praised and praised but he stole from others and lied as well in his book.

BREAKING? Not all news is "BREAKING!" And in your case, this news has been out for a day or two already and it was quite predictable. This is the reason insanity persists. Everything is BREAKING NEWS! Everything is of DIRE CONSEQUENCES!... SELL IT! If you don't ACT NOW.... A BOMBSHELL!... The FIRST OF ITS KIND!... NEVER BEFORE SEEN!... THIS IS A HISTORICAL MOMENT!... SQUIRREL!!! Frickin' drama queens.

Yes, the leftist institutions are hiring leftists, we know. Please stop the idiotic hyperbole.

(This is a public service announcement disseminated without charge, with the objective of raising awareness of socialized and corporate media driven insanity. All views are rational and actually should go without saying...)

UNC alums who recieve their annual love letter in the mail should return it saying “as a white racist you certainly don't want any more of my money,so I haven't enclosed any”.

Morons teaching morons is pretty much standard fare for a “college education” these days in the big universities - this just further cements that reality.

It’s time state legislatures started defunding them. They have less than zero value for the good of our economy and our society.
