The fight for America’s future is hitting the classroom
Last year, the New York Times led the development of an anti-American curriculum based on the “1619 Project,” which argues that the U.S. is rooted in racism and injustice. Now a group called “1776 Unites” has released a curriculum of its own — and it tells the real story of America's principles and progress.
Founded by civil rights activist Robert L. Woodson, Sr., 1776 Unites “offers authentic, inspiring stories from American history that show what is best in our national character and what our freedom makes possible even in the most difficult circumstances.” Rather than condemn America, it celebrates America.
It’s vital that America’s students learn the truth about U.S. history. As Amb. Haley has said, “America isn’t perfect,” but “even on our worst day, we are blessed to live in America.” The 1776 Unites curriculum can help convey that truth to the next generation.
