On Thursday, Senator Tom Cotton, who came under fire for his op-ed in The New York Times that called for the U.S. military to help restore cities to normalcy from the rioting there, introduced a bill in the Senate that would “prohibit Federal funds from being made available to teach the 1619 Project curriculum in elementary schools and secondary schools.”
The 1619 Project is the brainchild of The New York Times and an attempt to rewrite American history by claiming the nation’s true founding occurred in 1619, when slaves were first brought to the American continent, rather than 1776, when the American colonies united to declare themselves the United States of America.
