While President Trump didn’t get his way in having the Treasury Department keep most of the money from the sale of TikTok, his signing off on the Oracle deal came with a condition that they contribute $5 billion to a Trump-approved educational program.
This is built around President Trump condemning the New York Times’ 1619 Project for focusing on teaching slavery, and says he wants “patriotic education,” and that it will be “real history, not fake history.”
Last week, Trump announced a “1776 Commission” that would teach American exceptionalism, saying young people were fed lies about the US being plagued by racism. He did not offer many details at the time, but this appears to be where much of the funding will come from.
Trump said this commission will restore patriotism to history classes, and accused the left-wing of trying to “change everything that we have learned.”
Scary AF.
and most importantly (for the reeducation program):
1. WAR is PEACE
2. All humans are equal, but Americans are more equal than others
“I will soon sign an executive order establishing a national commission to promote patriotic education,” Trump said. “It will be called the ‘1776 Commission.’”
This one will be tough to spin, even for his staunchest cult members. But they will.
So long as it means that they don’t have to pay the full price for the “education” of their children, and can push most of the burden onto their single or childless neighbors and local businesses, republicans will always be in support of government monopoly “education.”
If the government is dishing it out, it will ALWAYS be fake history. HOMESCHOOL.
