Late last week, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sent a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona calling for Nikole Hannah-Jones’ “1619 Project” to be removed from federal grant programs:
CNN Politics ~ McConnell calls on education secretary to remove the “1619 Project” from federal grant programs.
The project reframes American history around the date when the first slave ship arrived on America’s shores. McConnell argues it tells a revisionist history.

No ... not "revisionist history," CNN ... revisionist fantasy.

Here’s what McConnell had to say specifically about the toxic “1619 Project”:
This is a time to strengthen the teaching of civics and American history in our schools. Instead, your Proposed Priorities double down on divisive, radical, and historically-dubious buzzwords and propaganda. For example, your Proposed Priorities applaud the New York Times’s “1619 Project.” This campaign to “reframe the country’s history, understanding 1619 as our true founding” has become infamous for putting ill-informed advocacy ahead of historical accuracy. Actual, trained, credentialed historians with diverse political views have debunked the project’s many factual and historical errors, such as the bizarre and inaccurate notion that preserving slavery was a primary driver of the American Revolution. One renowned historian called the project “so wrong in so many ways.” Citing this debunked advocacy confirms that your Proposed Priorities would not focus on critical thinking or accurate history, but on spoon-feeding students a slanted story.
Naturally, Nikole Hannah-Jones is pissed.
And, naturally, she’s defending her baby with arguments that betray her own staggering ignorance:
Tom Elliott ~ 1619 Project creator @nhannahjones on efforts to ban making it part of school curriculums: “This is fundamentally a free speech issue ... It’s not about the facts of history. It’s about trying to prohibit the teaching of ideas that they don’t like."

BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Ah, Nikole ... you ignorant, racist slut ... don't look now, but you just admitted that your "1619 Project" is not about the facts of history. It is simply about you being able to teach your racist, leftist fantasies. BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Notice that CNN is more than willing to indulge Hannah-Jones’ delusions.
But that’s not what we’re going to focus on here, as Hannah-Jones has given us more than enough to keep ourselves busy.
Kat ~ "It’s not about the facts of history."
Yep ... you heard correctly.
Barry McCockner ~ She said the quiet part out loud.
The 1619 project isn’t about history.
WeirdRalph ~ At least both sides agree that it's not about facts.
Ahmed Al Asliken ~ Yeah haha ... imagine wanting to be factually and historically accurate in history class.
What racists. Shaking my head.
Black Tradesman ~ The 1619 project has been debunked by historians on both sides of the aisle.
Stephen L. Miller ~ These are the people who lost their minds at having the 10 Commandments on a classroom wall.
Same ones.
Ryan James Girdusky ~ It’s about trying to prevent lies created by Jones from being taught to children. The same way we don’t teach kids that dinosaurs and men roamed the earth together, we shouldn’t teach them the 1619 Project.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
