Trump Announces Executive Order Establishing \u20181776 Commission\u2019 To Combat \u20181619 Project\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday he would sign a new executive order establishing the \u201c1776 Commission\u201d to promote patriotic education. The commission will counter the revisionist history peddled by leftist efforts like the New York Times\u2019 1619 Project, which imposes false narratives on America\u2019s students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe narratives about America being pushed by the far left and being chanted in the streets bear a striking resemblance to the anti-American propaganda of our adversaries,\u201d Trump said in remarks during the White House Conference on American History at the National Archives. He further described the 1619 Project\u2014a collection of essays that cast America as an irredeemably racist empire built solely to oppress minorities\u2014as \u201cideological poison.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, China successfully weaponized American wokeness to drive divisions deeper in the U.S., seeking to evade responsibility for the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak by complaining that any term linking the virus to its Chinese origins was racist. Woke reporters soon complied with Beijing\u2019s orders and began badgering the president repeatedly on his use of terms consistent with the naming of new diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cCritical race theory, the 1619 Project, and the crusade against American history is toxic propaganda,\u201d Trump said, \u201cthat if not removed, will dissolve the civic bonds that tie us together. It will destroy our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s announcement marks the latest example of the White House\u2019s decision to engage substantively in the culture war, coming less than two weeks after the administration\u00a0banned<\/a>\u00a0critical race theory trainings at federal agencies.<\/p>\n

The new 1776 Commission, Trump said, \u201cwill encourage our educators to teach our children about the miracle of American history and make plans to honor the 250th anniversary of our founding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several Republican House members also ramped up their efforts to counter the 1619 Project, which has already infected K-12 curriculums in some\u00a04,500<\/a>\u00a0classrooms. Earlier Thursday, Reps. Ken Buck of Colorado and Rick Allen of Georgia introduced the House companion bill to legislation from Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton that would bar federal funding from schools incorporating the 1619 Project in their curriculums.<\/p>\n

Launched last year, the progressive project spearheaded by the Times\u2019\u00a0riot-cheering<\/a>\u00a0Nikole Hannah-Jones<\/a>\u00a0(who\u00a0won a Pulitzer<\/a>\u00a0for the project\u2019s opening essay, even though it required a\u00a0major correction<\/a>) has made its way into the classrooms of major schools districts such as Chicago and Washington D.C.<\/p>\n
