Didn't say they didn't. But let's not pretend A) this is going anywhere and B) that President Trump actually cares about how American history is taught.

Long-term, there can hardly be anything more important than this. I can't remember a similar effort by any president to take back our public schools from toxic political correctness. And at the same time he supports flexible private sector alternatives to them. Huge, huge win.

Trump Announces Executive Order Establishing '1776 Commission'

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday he would sign a new executive order establishing the “1776 Commission” to promote patriotic education. The commission will counter the revisionist history peddled by leftist efforts like the New York Times’ 1619 Project, which imposes false narratives on America’s students.

“The narratives about America being pushed by the far left and being chanted in the streets bear a striking resemblance to the anti-American propaganda of our adversaries,” Trump said in remarks during the White House Conference on American History at the National Archives. He further described the 1619 Project—a collection of essays that cast America as an irredeemably racist empire built solely to oppress minorities—as “ideological poison.”​
