The 1619 Project revolves around the flawed premise that
since the year 1619, when the first slaves arrived in America, all the good
accomplished in America was gained off of the backs of the slaves. Further the
project, which may be a trial balloon for a new further Left history
curriculum, blames the Founders for perpetuating the institution of slavery
within the Constitution.
The real way to know whether the 1619 Project comes from a
place of fairness or is really just another way to potentially politicize our
children’s history classes will present itself in the curriculum. If there is
no effort in the curriculum to expose the reality that virtually all slave
owners were Democrats, members of the KKK, and several generations later fought
like heck to stop segregation, while the Republican fought to free the slaves
and for eventual integration, then we know the project is just another way to
rewrite history so as to indoctrinate our children into accepting Leftist
views.
