Trump Launches 'Patriotic Education' Commission, Calls 1619 Project 'Ideological Poison'
Trump on Thursday announced several measures aimed at promoting what he called “patriotic education” while blasting progressive efforts at re-examining American history through a race-critical lens as “toxic propaganda.”
At the White House Conference on American History, Trump took aim at the 1619 Project, a series of essays in the New York Times re-examining America’s legacy of slavery which has become a common foil for right-wing politicians, calling it “ideological poison” that will “dissolve the civic bonds” of America.
Trump also called out what he said is “left-wing indoctrination” in schools and curriculum, which he claimed “views every issue through the lens of race" in an effort to impose “tyranny” and “a new segregation.”
Trump instead proposed “patriotic education,” applauding a grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop, in his words, a” pro-American curriculum that celebrates the truth about our nation's great history."

Does he have a fucking clue what being patriotic is?
What it isn't is humping the flag like a horny Chihuahua.
It isn't dodging the draft using by paying a docotor to write a phony excuse like 'bonespurs'.
It isn't calling veterans a 'bunch of losers'.
It isn't calling venereal disease your own Viet Nam.
