Trump creates 1776 Commission to promote 'patriotic education'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump on Monday created a “1776 Commission” to promote "patriotic education” and counter lessons that he says divide Americans on race and slavery and teach students to “hate their own country."

On the eve of Election Day, Trump directed the commission’s creation, via executive order, to “better enable a rising generation to understand the history and principles of the founding of the United States in 1776 and to strive to form a more perfect Union.”

The order follows Trump’s recent attacks on critical race theory and the 1619 Project, directed by The New York Times Magazine, which revisits the country’s history with a focus on slavery and Black Americans’ contributions.

Racial justice issues have been at the center of this election following protests this summer and fall over the police killings of Black men and women. Trump has repeatedly lashed out at protesters, positioning himself as the "law and order" candidate.

It'll probably teach such bullshit as Jesus gave the founding fathers the U.S. Constitution and Trump is the greatest president ever.

5. In other words.....

The only history Trumpy feels young people should be taught is that history in which white people did NO WRONG AT ALL, EVER, and they were just escaping tyranny and/or seeking liberty. The brown people that were here first welcomed them with open arms and said "Sure! Take all the land you need!" and the other, darker brown people who were brought here a little later lived happy, agrarian lives and invented Jazz.

There you have it, folks.

Re-education camps, without the camps.
