On a historic day for American democracy, Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president on the same Capitol steps that were held by rioters only two weeks previously. And in a move that will help to frame U.S. history in classrooms, the new chief executive eliminated the 1776 Commission as one of his first official actions.

I assume it's a counter to the 1619 project, which is going to be the basis of national American History curriculum across the country within a decade.

What I am saying is it was all a waste of time unless he was going to cut off the head of the snake.

It’s sad that we allow an adversary of our nation to pretend to be President and occupy the White House.

I read the 1776 Project's main report/offering last night sitting in my hotel room, it was a very good, factual read.

It wasn't anything pertaining to partisan politics and dealt with facts only, so I'm not sure why they'd feel the need to eliminate it?

This is 100% an effort to taint and remove ANY possible legacy Trump could leave behind - factual, educational, and bipartisan or not.

At this point I don’t even think it’s about trump anymore. They want to erase history. Now ask yourself why?

The White House on Monday released the report of the presidential 1776 Commission, a sweeping attack on liberal thought and activism that calls for a “patriotic education,” defends America’s founding against charges that it was tainted by slavery and likens progressivism to fascism.

President Trump formed the 18-member commission — which includes no professional historians but a number of conservative activists, politicians and intellectuals — in the heat of his re-election campaign in September, as he cast himself as a defender of traditional American heritage against “radical” liberals. Not previously known for his interest in American history or education, Mr. Trump insisted that the nation’s schools had been infiltrated by anti-American thought and required a new “pro-American” curriculum.


quote:

“The biggest tell in the 1776 report is that it lists ‘Progressivism’ along with ‘Slavery’ and ‘Fascism’ in its list of ‘challenges to America’s principles,’” Thomas Sugrue, a historian at New York University, wrote on Twitter. “Time to rewrite my lectures to say that ending child labor and regulating meatpacking = Hitlerism.”

It’s pretty simple logic. If you are White, you are a racist. Period. That’s what Democrats want you to believe, acknowledge, and apologize for.

frick, it won’t surprise me if the reason Biden steps down for Willie’s Side Hoe is if they guilt him into it because he’s White.
