That our history books need to be erased and rewritten. That our educational system needs to be used to reprogram nearly half of the country's population.
I'll never understand why people are so defensive about teaching nuanced American history. Criticizing institutions like slavery and the genocide of native Americans is an important component to being an informed American citizen.

No one is saying that. And what history curriculum doesn’t teach slavery, the trail of tears, and other difficult topics in American history?
The 1619 project is focused on erasing - “cancelling” - important figures in American history because they were complicit in a system that was used for racism. It ignores the nuance and instead indoctrinates that no matter the historical context, any direct or indirect connection to immoral acts nullifies their contribution.
