Trump warns schools teaching 1619 Project 'will not be funded'

If students want to pray or read the New York Times, let them do it after school. Lets not pretend that our students are proficient in reading, math, and science and we have room for this extra curricular activity.

 

I know. I did try to take that all into account to some extent in my last post. Different districts, different states, have differing degrees of control over the classroom. And it’s true that there aren’t many teachers who enjoy the level of freedom I did.

What I was basically trying to say, in a roundabout sort of way, is that, theoretically, there maybe more to how the curriculum is ultimately implemented by any individual district then many people are assuming.

 

let me try again to help you understand

people did not want it to be illegal for adults to drink, so the feds took away road money from States that did not make it illegal for adults to drink... they did this as they knew it was wrong to do and States would not do it otherwise

now they could have just raised the age considered to be an adult, but that would have meant they could not go to war as young

 

ok...but what does that have to do with Trump?

Trump wasn't President or in Congress when that happened.

Biden was however though....so why do people like Biden support prohibtion?

 

Trump is doing the same here, he knows the States do not support it, so is going to remove federal funding if they don't

 

if states don’t support it...then they have nothing to worry about

this isnt about probation either. it has nothing to do with booze

 

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the left had no problem with Obama threatening to withhold school funding if they didn't allow boys to pee in the girl's bathrooms.

 

Wrong, children need exercise !!!!

 

Which people like the 1619 project to be taught in lieu of American revolutionary history???

 

who said there was a this or that choice, why not both

I say let the local school district decide

 

The biggest problem of many is that 1619 utterly betrays the entire reason we went to war against Britain. So screw you Thomas Jefferson, your declaration of independence didn't matter. Nor did the Boston Tea Party or the king's abuses.

Also, how they going to reconcile that around 66-70 years later, we'd fight the civil war? For a nation hell bent over slavery, we sure gave it up fairly quickly.

To teach 1619, you'd literally have to revise history.

 

That makes ZERO sense!

The DoI happened in 1776 which was 157 YEARS later. No one who was alive in 1619 was still alive by 1776.

So no, it does NOT "revise history" because these things happened at DIFFERENT TIMES.

There was history BEFORE the DoI and teaching kids MORE history just gives them a better PERSPECTIVE.

So it is utterly FATUOUS to erroneously allege that what happened in 1619 NEGATES everything that subsequently occurred.

 

When it comes to AMERICAN history it DOES matter. Saying America was founded on slavery is a lie when America was not founded until 1776.

 

So you would have no problem with the Biden administration cutting funding for schools that include creationism as part of the curriculum?

 

The American economy was reliant on slavery for a very long time. Both before and after independence. And the consequences of that are still apparent today.
So what offends you or annoys you about telling the truth?

 

So what? The American economy relies on cheap labor from people being exploited and folks do not bat an eye. Illegal immigration is slavery 2.0. Do you have a problem with it?

 

So, this gets to the uncomfortable truth of the civil war. Was the South purely racist or would it have declined (as it did after the war) leading to present day politics where the South is made a kicking donkey by northern progressives? If Abe had just accepted Davis's proposal and maybe an alliance with the confederate states, it would have been easier to assimilate them back into the Union, slavery dies by the progression of human technology and Abe actually gets to live out his term.

Also an entire civil war would've been avoided. If we're going to revisit history, I truly believe that Abraham Lincoln was a terrible president who performed terribly and was largely miscast for the role.

That aside, we were not founded on slavery, anymore than the Southern States were(to reiterate, they weren't)

We were founded on a humane society that yes, took us time to actually achieve, but we have largely achieved it.

So, what is the real purpose of 1619? It's the attempt to revive old battles so that present day quacks like Speaker Pelosi can pretend that they were as relevant as revolutionary as our framers.

(The impeachment foolishness if you look closely at it, was the same deal). Sorry to say, but they're simply incompetent. Instead of reviving old battles, with more "progressive" solutions they have infact simply infested old wounds with new pains.

As seen with the restaurant incident, nothing good has or will come of the calamity in front of us, entirely of their own creation.

They too share in the toils of government and in their willful absence, we've become a country where political assassination once again has struck our land.

Their willful absence of government means that they don't deserve the moral authority to govern.

 

I didn't know rush hour traffic was part of the legacy of slavery:

 

Why should we fund lies?

 

Liberals have infiltrated two institutions with the intent of propagandizing, the media and education.

What they have done, is downright dangerous, and as you can see by some of our forum posters, their methodology is working.

It's why we have millennials here complaining about optics of people having boats and using them while others are unemployed. It's why we have people feeling justified looting stores, and judges saying their individual situations should be considered during sentencing. It's why we have large fragments of our populace demonizing police, opposing capitalism over socialism, and desiring to erase history.

I am absolutely convinced that decades of pushing this agenda through these outlets is working.

 

Yup.

 

If America is dumb enough to elect Biden, that would probably be the least of my concerns...

 

The 1619 project is revisionist history promulgated by one person's opinion with no factual or historical basis. Completely different from creationism.

 

I guess there's just one way to think about racial issues:
