Trump Could Defund Schools That Teach Controversial ‘1619 Project’

President Trump has fired a whistling shot across the bow of the anti-American racists who are behind the loathsome New York Times’ white-hating manifesto The 1619 Project.

President Trump had one heck of a Labor Day weekend when he took aim at propaganda that has poisoned the nation and contributed to the climate of hate and intolerance that has been created by the political left.

On Friday, Trump called for an end to the teaching of “critical race theory” in federal government agencies, a shot across the bow of those who hate us for our freedoms and are determined to wipe them out.

The Office of Management and Budget sent out a letter to agency heads that they are to “cease and desist” any government training programs that humiliate white employees by shaming them for their “white privilege” and bully them into submission to acknowledge their racism even if they don’t know that they are racists.

Then, Trump took aim at the New York Times’ celebrated 1619 Project which like those who toppled statues seeks to erase our shared history in order to put into place a lie that the nation was founded not for freedom and liberty but to preserve the practice of slavery.

In a Sunday tweet, the POTUS suggested that schools teaching the 1619 Project could be defunded.

Trump’s warning comes as schools are facing serious issues due to the lockdowns and hysteria promoted by the media over the coronavirus and a future that will be affected by losses in tax revenue as a result of tens of millions of job losses due to diktats of Dem governors.

Via The Washington Free Beacon, “Trump Threatens to Cut Federal Funding to Schools That Teach 1619 Project”:

President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened to pull federal funding from California schools that teach the New York Times‘s 1619 Project.

Trump tweeted that the Department of Education is “looking” into whether California schools are teaching the project, saying, “If so, they will not be funded!”

The controversial 1619 Project, which the Times published last year, argues that the founding of the United States can be traced to 1619—the year African slaves first arrived in the American colonies. Since its release, prominent American historians have criticized the project for its historical inaccuracies, and Senate Republicans have already introduced legislation to cut federal funding to schools that teach its educational curriculum, which the Pulitzer Center has already distributed to “thousands of classrooms.”

“The New York Times‘s 1619 Project is a racially divisive, revisionist account of history that denies the noble principles of freedom and equality on which our nation was founded,” said Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) in July. “Not a single cent of federal funding should go to indoctrinate young Americans with this left-wing garbage.”

Trump’s tweet follows a Friday White House memo announcing the Office of Management and Budget will cut funding for employee training workshops in federal agencies that teach that “the United States is an inherently racist or evil country.”

“It has come to the President’s attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date ‘training’ government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda,” wrote OMB director Russell Vought. “The President has directed me to ensure that Federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions.”

President Trump also addressed the 1619 Project during a Monday press conference:

Partial transcript via Real Clear Politics:

REPORTER: Why do you object to 1619 being taught in schools, and do you object to slavery being taught in schools?

TRUMP: No, I want people to know everything they can about our history. I am not a believer in cancel culture. If you don’t study the bad, it could happen again. I want it studied very, very carefully and studied accurately.

But we grew up with a certain history and now they are trying to change our history. Revisionist history.

That’s why they want to take down our monuments, take down our statues.

I saw something the other day which was absolutely horrendous — the Washington Monument, they want to rename it the D.C. Committee, but the D.C. Committee is all Democrats. Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, I mean, we are talking about this is the big stuff now. This is the big stuff, and they want to rename it? They want to redesignate it? They want to take some down?

Trump’s warning comes as schools are facing serious issues due to the lockdowns and hysteria promoted by the media over the coronavirus and a future that will be affected by losses in tax revenue as a result of tens of millions of job losses due to diktats of Dem governors.

What Mein Kampf was to Adolf Hitler, so is the 1619 Project to the Marxist-influenced Black Lives Matter movement as both serve as the cornerstone for an eliminationist philosophy that dehumanizes entire groups of people.

The racism of the founder of the 1619 Project includes calling white people “barbaric devils” and “bloodsuckers” and who has called the white race “the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world.”

Nikole Hannah-Jones expanded on the work of communist revisionist historian Howard Zinn whose “A People’s History Of The United States” has become the bible for America haters.

Jones responded to Trump by playing the victim card and accusing the POTUS of engaging in censorship and McCarthyism.

Other white-hating, anti-American racists crawled out of the woodwork:

The 1619 Project is a dangerous piece of work that appeals to the worst instincts of those who have been indoctrinated to hate their own country, Trump would do well to start the work of purging this vile and hateful garbage from educational institutions that no longer teach but have become production mills for brainwashed, self-loathing communist revolutionaries.

Any cancellation of funding would invite the inevitable barrage of lawsuits lobbed into courts with activist Obama-appointed judges but the First Amendment doesn’t apply to propaganda.
