I’m not sure how many of you have heard of the White House’s new 1776 Commission. Still, it’s an essential and newsworthy measure in education reform that deserves a conversation.

If you’re in high school or college, or even middle school these days, you’re intimately familiar with the false concept that America was founded on an idea of racism and division–not equality and unity. American students are being taught our history and current identity through a distorted lens of reality. In many cases, this curriculum is driven by radical Leftist ideas, like the New York Times’ 1619 Project, or other curriculum packages carefully curated to teach students what divides us rather than what unites us.

(By the way, countless people have rejected the teachings of the 1619 Project, from historians to conservatives and even socialists! You can read more about the pushback here).

When we teach our next generation to hate the nation they call home, the country itself will experience a fundamental change. Period.

The proposed 1776 Commission aims to stop ideological indoctrination against our American history in the classroom, promoting a more patriotic view of our nation to our children instead. In particular, it pushes back against divisive critical race theory taught in classrooms and seeks to teach the truth about America’s founding–that we are based in E Pluribus Unum: out of many, one.

It’s high time for education reform in America, and the 1776 Commission is a great place to start.
