He spoke about how the 1776 project to be mandatory in schools and any schools that teach 1619 project or critical race theory to be defunded and sanctioned. Those are just examples and evidence.
Let’s let’s say it’s Los Angeles, San Diego, and they just decide … ‘Oh, we’re gonna get rid of…history,” Kilmeade posed. “We got new history. This is America built off the backs of slaves on stolen land, and that curriculum comes in.”
This is what Trump was responding to. Regardless of the way that article’s headline also lying about what was being discussed, he did not threaten to cut funding for schools that teach about slavery. He threatened to cut funding for a school that decides to throw out history and introduce a new history in which slavery is the primary aspect of United States history.
This is distortion. This is a continuation of the well-established pattern of lying about what Donald Trump said. I don’t know how to make it any simpler than that.
No that’s just you putting your opinion and spin on it. You and Trump would prefer that they teach “slavery wasn’t so bad” or that it’s overblown? Nowhere does anyone teach that slavery is the primary part of American history.
Did he though?
Unless somebody’s got a link to what he actually said, I just don’t believe it. There’ve been so many lies about “what Trump said”
He spoke about how the 1776 project to be mandatory in schools and any schools that teach 1619 project or critical race theory to be defunded and sanctioned. Those are just examples and evidence.
Edit: But here’s a more recent article talking about banning teaching about slavery itself https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-threatens-defund-schools-teach-155006275.html
So I was right. He’s targeting CRT and the 1619 Project (what is this?), which is not the same as targeting any mention of slavery.
That sure didn’t take long to debunk.
So the claim that Trump is trying to remove mention of slavery from classrooms turned out to be a lie. Another lie.
Read the article, it talks about “slavery” and not the examples I gave above.
