I googled "what the 1619 project gets wrong" and at the top is an article on Politico written by a history professor at Northwestern. He fact checked the 1619 project and just a quick glance at what he wrote points outs firstly that the 1619 project states that the colonists went to war in the Revolution to protect slavery. He has other prominent historians agreeing with him. Don't get lost in the weeds, that was just the first of historic inaccuracies he points out. The thing is the the authors of the 1619 Project want to paint a narrative that indoctrinates kids and get them to believe we must totally remake society. And I imagine in the current climate guys like this professor who point out inaccuracies will be slammed, if not already, as racist.
Why would you not believe that? If the history of Great Britain in the late 1700’s saw

Did you Google the other side? Find out why historians would say that the Revolutionary war was in part to protect slavery? That abolitionist forces in Great Britain were threatening the continued practice of slavery in the colonies?

Slavery was abolished throughout the British Empire in 1834. About 60 years before the Revolution. There were abolitionists in the U.S. long before the Civil War too.

…even if I can’t remember what it was!🤣
I've already said it said whiteness is bad. I didn't realize at the time I needed to write it down. Let's face it, you hate the country and want to see it completely reworked in some fashion you'd personally find more palatable to your delicate sensitivities.

Nothing wrong with challenging what the 1619 project puts out. What I’m hearing is that people don’t like that history doesn’t end and shapes the world we live in today. Not really a debatable idea. Now if people would like to put forth an alternate idea of why the 1619 project is wrong and where it’s extrapolations into today’s society don’t measure up, I think that’s an important conversation to have.
So you support the 1776 project

That is completely ahistorical..
The goal is not knowledge though, the goal is to teach children that they are racist. Leftism is a sick perverse ideology.

The racist 1619 project is being taught across country the and is readily available for anyone who isn't a complete numbskull.

When you figure out how to find it get back to me.
If it is then you should have no problem posting that curriculum. Otherwise you're just trolling as usual.

Not as tough as it is for you to find any proof of crt being taught in k-12 schools. Keep trolling away homie.
The 1619 project is in fact critical race theory, and is in fact being taught in schools. 3500 schools according to the racists who are pushing it.

You extremists need to stop pushing your misinformation and conspiracy theories.

I've paid all through my working years. Why is it you deflect when confronted with facts? You don't really expect us to let you spout lies do you?
I'm just repeating what you told us. Look, I've encountered scores of people in the same position you're in. They try to hide the fact that they don't have a pot to pee in or a window to through it out of have made use of social program benefits in the past and will do so in the future by demonizing the people who had the foresight to bring the legislation that created those programs to fruition.

A prime example. Last fall when my brother was in a nursing home recovering from a bleeding abdominal aneurysm and severe infection there was this old guy in the room with him constantly condemning and demonizing the left. Tired of listening to it my brother asked the guy who was footing the bills he was ringing up. His answer?..... Medicaid.
