Trump administration issues racist school curriculum report on MLK day

BTW, I am glad to see that you have finally stopped nattering about how Mr. Trump's administration was administering 1,000,000 vaccinations per day (which you continued long after you knew it was false).

We were talking about the 1619 project. Which is why you would rather talk about COVID.

Trump administration issues racist school curriculum report on MLK day​

Washington (CNN)A commission stood up by President Donald Trump as a rebuttal to schools applying a more accurate history curriculum around slavery in the US issued its inflammatory report on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Trump announced that he was establishing the commission last fall, following a slew of Black Lives Matter demonstrations across the country. He blamed the school curriculum for violence that resulted from some of the protests, saying that "the left-wing rioting and mayhem are the direct result of decades of left-wing indoctrination in our schools."

The commission is an apparent counter to The New York Times' 1619 Project, a Pulitzer Prize-winning project aimed at teaching American students about slavery. Trump, speaking last fall, called the project "toxic propaganda."

A sitting US president typically has the power to dissolve existing presidential commissions and advisory councils, which sometimes provide reports and recommendations to the White House.
It's not clear what action President-elect Joe Biden will take with the commission once he's in office.

COMMENT:-

​

The "optics" of issuing a report that can easily be read as "Dem No***rs iz gettin' uppity an' its time to putta stop tooit." on MLK Day aren't all that great. Tossing in "An dem Bi**hes haz gotta be slapped down, too." doesn't help.​

It is toxic propaganda!
The lead writer of The New York Times’ anti-American “1619 Project” suffered a meltdown last week when a colleague at her paper offered fair criticism of its revisionist and inaccurate account of history.

On Oct. 9, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens published a more than 3,000-word essay outlining the project’s blunders that have led the academics with the National Association of Scholars (NAS) to call on the Pulitzer Prize Board to revoke its award to the project’s chief essayist, Nikole Hannah-Jones.

The criticism sent the project's architect into rage, with her predictably calling the fair-minded critiques of her deceptive scholarship racist.

Although fact-checking the 1619 Project and offering academic criticism is important, it is not the most effective strategy for winning Americans.

Many major publications have pointed out the project’s historical, factual, and logical inconsistencies. Some of the best have been Joshua Lawson’s article in The Federalist, which pointed out that slavery was not unique to the United States and worldwide abolition lagged behind that of the northern states, and Lucas Morel’s work in the American Mind that argued American history should not be interpreted as a zero-sum narrative where the accomplishments of African Americans must displace the achievements of the Founders.

Twelve Civil War historians responded to the project with a letter to New York Times Magazine. The letter states: “As historians and students of the Founding and the Civil War era, our concern is that The 1619 Project offers a historically-limited view of slavery, especially since slavery was not just (or even exclusively) an American malady, and grew up in a larger context of forced labor and race.”

The historians go on to point out numerous historical discrepancies as well as instances where authors blatantly misinterpreted events to fit their narrative. Although the editor of the New York Times did respond to the letter, he neglected to publish it or to make any recommended corrections.

Actually "1619" didn't win a Pulitzer prize at all.

Nikole Hannah-Jones of The New York Times won a Pulitzer prize for an essay that she wrote (yes it was a commentary) that contained

I don't think Pulitzer is sure what she was awarded for.​

Nikole Hannah-Jones was awarded the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for The 1619 Project, The New York Times Magazine’s groundbreaking exploration of the legacy of Black Americans starting with the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in 1619.​

1619 didn't win the Pulitzer in the History category. It was the commentary category.

a commentary on history. your hair splitting informs.

No, Hannah calls it an "origin story". Critical Race Theory relies upon stories and parables. Works of fiction to "reframe the narrative"

no critical race theory does not depend on stories and parables at all. Perhaps somebody explaining relied on them. Reframe the narrative based on facts. Ya gotta scrap off the whitewashing your white ancestors be doin' to them there stories and parables over the centuries.
