Trump warns schools teaching 1619 Project 'will not be funded'
The project puts forth an alternative approach to American history

The project is based on the premise that American history began in 1619 -- cited as the date African slaves arrived in Virginia -- and that everything following this should be viewed through that lens. The Pulitzer Center released a school curriculum based on the project, and Trump responded to a tweet stating that California would be using it.
"Department of Education is looking at this," Trump said. "If so, they will not be funded!"
Trump's tweet echoes the sentiment of a bill Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., introduced in July. That bill proposed denying funds to any school that uses the 1619 Project in its curriculum. At the time, schools in areas including Chicago and Washington, D.C., had already amended their history curricula to reflect the project's messages.
I wonder if there's a dictionary at the Pulitzer Center? That they might look up the word, pandering. I also wonder if the project will include the fact that free blacks owned slaves and at times were more brutal against them than their white counterparts.
I heard a man on TV last year respond to someone who mentioned how all of February is dedicated to black history. Black history month.
The respondent said, February has the least number of days of any month of the year! It figures we'd get a 28 day month for our history celebration.
Not satisfied with a whole month of time dedicated to BH? Imagine the fireworks if there was appointed a white history month. The first retort at even the suggestion? Likely, all 11 months are dedicated to that because American's think whites are the only one's who made America's history.
Revisionist history has been a factor in our government funded public schools for years. This though is the next evolution? God help us.
