"a displacement of historical understanding by ideology."

That's a fancy way of saying it's complete horseshit.

Sounds like an effort to condemn the future into repeating the past... They should call it the 1984 Project...

It's countered by the 1776 project. You can Google both, but be prepared to hurl and/or be hopping mad when you learn the details of the 1619 project. It'll also make clear where so much internet racial madness has come from.

It was meant to rewrite the founding of the US to coincide with slavery and protecting it.

To add to the other comments, they're teaching it in schools now.

Please, everyone make sure that the children in your life are informed of our history and their own ancestors.

My niece was very upset about having the wrong color skin because of these lesson plans. She is a direct descendant from the KY Baptists. No, her teachers didn't bother to talk about who that was or what they did, or which US Presidents came from them, or why that one group shouldn't have any slavery guilt regardless. All that mattered was that my niece was white so somehow bad.

This is a real thing now. Be prepared.
