The Hate-America “1619 Project” Fed to Kids

The 1619 Project, being adopted by schools nationwide, claims that the country’s entire history is based on slavery. It’s so wrong even leftist professors are tearing it apart. ...

Lies by the New York Times in the late 1950s were crucial to enslaving the nation of Cuba under mass-murdering dictator Fidel Castro, who was portrayed by the paper as an anti-communist “freedom fighter.” Before that, Pulitzer Prize-winning lies by the New York Times were crucial in helping mass-murdering dictator Joseph Stalin conceal his genocide-by-starvation perpetrated against Ukraine. And now, it seems, the far-left newspaper and the forces behind it hope that lies about America in the “1619 Project” will destroy the freest and most prosperous nation in human history. Fortunately, the lies were caught early, and they are now sparking outrage and scrutiny nationwide.

The central element of the 1619 Project is the claim that “anti-black racism,” slavery, systemic oppression, and other evils are embedded “in the very DNA” of America. Of course, if America’s very DNA is evil, there can be no change in policy and no possible transformation that would make the nation redeemable. In short, under the view put forth by the Times and its project, the only possible conclusion is that America must die so that something new can replace it. That is the objective. The free market system is painted as responsible for slavery, too. Because the narrative is based on easily disproven lies, though, a simple dose of truth can neutralize the poison — and that is already happening.

But the threat remains. In thousands of government schools all across America, including some of the largest districts, children are being force-fed the Times’ blatantly false historical narrative about the United States — a history so phony that even left-wing historians have debunked it as ridiculous. While the fake history in the “1619 Project” has been widely ridiculed and totally discredited by virtually every scholar who has examined it, including those hired by the Times, the lies are being openly pumped into the minds of millions of captive children across the nation. More jurisdictions are jumping on the bandwagon. If left unchallenged, the consequences of these pernicious lies being taught to ignorant and impressionable young Americans will be devastating.
