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.
Well at least the US will be like the rest of the civilized world. UK public school history:
- Battle of Hastings
- Henry VIII
- (Cromwell is briefly mentioned in passing)
- (Noticeably large gap)
- WWI + WWII (Churchill is briefly touched on)
- (Noticeably large gap)
- Cold War
No skeletons in our closet, we’re a civil people!
Try out the new America!!! Same shit taste, but now with even more racism!!!
Why not just cut out history education all together? It’s not like anyone was paying attention anyway /s
It was always about bringing slavery back.
Ever since we shed blood to end it, they’ve been trying to bring it back.
Slavery never ended.
Ever see those stupid laws like “don’t ride a horse on a Sunday?” Or look at when “vagrancy” laws were passed, or differences in sentencing between crack and coke.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Look at prison rates and racial backgrounds in the south. Look at how felonies are used to disenfranchise. Look at the war on drugs.
