Aren't we tired of having a racist president? I suspect most of us are.

Trump says Department of Education will investigate use of 1619 Project in schools - CNNPolitics

President Donald Trump is continuing to wage battle against interpretations of history which he claims are un-American.

In a Sunday morning tweet, the President said the US Department of Education would investigate whether California schools are using the New York Times' "1619 Project" in public school curriculum. The Pulitzer-Prize winning collection reframes American history around the date of August 1619, when the first slave ship arrived on America's shores.

"Department of Education is looking at this. If so, they will not be funded!" he wrote on Twitter, citing a message from an unverified account saying it was being taught in schools there.

So, yesterday he said diversity training was un-American. Today, teaching about slavery is.

Does this man even have a bottom?

What control does he think he has over school funding, I wonder. Trump doesn't seem to know how the government works, who is in charge of what, and what power the president does and doesn't have.

The president does not dictate school curriculum, period.
 
The 1619 project shouldn't be used for any educations purposes.
Since when has political propaganda been used for 'education' purposes?
Using it for education purposes is nothing but liberal / progressive indoctrination in the education system, which must be excised with belligerence from the education system.

Legitimate questions to ask:

The 1691 project is a distortion of US history bent to support a political ideology and a preferred political narrative, so it is little more than ideologically driven political propaganda, '1984 Ministry of Truth', anyone?

The fact that it won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize only shows how politically based the Pulitzer committee has become, no longer judging on quality journalism (given the errors in the 1619 project), and judging on political ideology.

The Pulitzer committee has relegated themselves to judging and promoting political propaganda.

So, the idiot Right denies slavery now. Good to know.

Take it up with your state of board of education... The federal government has no power to set curriculum... However, I am in full support of giving the federal government that power... I'm sure the Biden/Harris administration will be happy to review a few states curriculum like Texas... :2razz: Can we count on your support?

Gee, the National Review, the Washington Times and Ben Shapiro have problems with teaching the history of slavery. Who would have expected that? I am also stunned that Trump — who with a straight face gave Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom— objects to it. Guess we should simply have watched “Gone with the Wind” and “Birth of a Nation” to commemorate 1619. Blacks work for free for 250 years, created enormous wealth, and no one should notice.

Love the part that said that the “Pulitzer Prize, like the Nobel Peace Prize, are tools of the dogmatic left.”

Just a thought: when Trump announced this, did he call slaves “losers” for getting captured?

I wouldn't worry too much. The last time Devos tried to steer money to private schools, the court shut her stupid ass down quickly. I have a degree of optimism that our judicial system will protect us from a lot of Trumps racist tendencies.

I also have a degree of optimism that Trump and company will be flushed down the commode this election, pray to God.

Fair enough. That is where the responsibility lies.
The federal government has no power to set curriculum...
And the state is where the responsibility should lie.
However, I am in full support of giving the federal government that power... I'm sure the Biden/Harris administration will be happy to review a few states curriculum like Texas... :2razz: Can we count on your support?
Nope.

The point of my post remains, that the content of the 1619 project is most certainly NOT suitable for education.
 
Good! There's absolutely know reason that garbage should be taught in schools.

I am going to enjoy the debates here when the Biden/Harris administration starts reviewing the curriculum for southern states.... :2razz:

After all, why do kids need to know about slavery? That's ancient history now, after all. Maybe we can repeat it if no one knows about it.

But you probably want God taught in school. Mary was not a virgin and will that 3rd day come on already?

So wrong in so many ways” is how Gordon Wood, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of the American Revolution, characterized the New York Times’s “1619 Project.” James McPherson, dean of Civil War historians and another Pulitzer winner, said the Times presented an “unbalanced, one-sided account” that “left most of the history out.” Even more surprising than the criticism from these generally liberal historians was where the interviews appeared: on the World Socialist Web Site, run by the Trotskyist Socialist Equality Party.

The “1619 Project” was launched in August with a 100-page spread in the Times’s Sunday magazine. It intends to “reframe the country’s history” by crossing out 1776 as America’s founding date and substituting 1619, the year 20 or so African slaves were brought to Jamestown, Va. The project has been celebrated up and down the liberal establishment, praised by Sen. Kamala Harris and Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

A September essay for the World Socialist Web Site called the project a “racialist falsification” of history. That didn’t get much attention, but in November the interviews with the historians went viral. “I wish my books would have this kind of reaction,” Mr. Wood says in an email. “It still strikes me as amazing why the NY Times would put its authority behind a project that has such weak scholarly support.” He adds that fellow historians have privately expressed their agreement. Mr. McPherson coolly describes the project’s “implicit position that there have never been any good white people, thereby ignoring white radicals and even liberals who have supported racial equality.”

History, accurate history, isn't a friend to the Left.
 
I believe all religion exploits people looking for something in their life they believe is missing. The Catholic church has been an on-going issue with the raping boys stuff.

Even Islam?
 
Even if the information contained in the is a lie? You don't care. Right?

Is that a hypothetical, or do you have some proof that the information is a lie?

I'm not familiar with the study in question. I just know that the president doesn't decide what is taught in schools. If, indeed, it has false information, then it shouldn't be taught.

But that's not Trump's call.

Why else would they continuously try to re-write it?
