"'The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been openly celebrating the 1619 Project,' Newman said, because through propaganda, brainwashing, lies, indoctrination, misinformation and disinformation, and psychological warfare, Americans can be convinced to hate their own country and dismantle it from the inside. Then America's economic or military power will no longer pose a threat to the CCP." -Epoch Times article
More terrifying than any horror movie today, is the indoctrination of America's children through propaganda in the public schools; namely false history. (Image: Pixabay-Ernesto Eslava)
Especially as a soon-to-be grandma, when thinking about the prospect of my grandchild being fed a steady diet of re-written, America-hating public school curricula, it turns my stomach.
To what am I referring? Surely, the current curricula couldn't be that bad, could it? Besides, isn't it just in universities that young people encounter ultra-liberal and progressive professors who delight in undermining any conservative values or outlooks their students may have brought with them?
Sadly, as a sobering article by Ella Kietlinska in the Epoch Times points out, this alarming trend of thought is being taught as 'history' in public schools across the nation today.
Kietlinska writes that author and award-winning journalist, Alex Newman warned that the "history taught in public schools is 'a complete and total reversal of reality' and the root cause of the civil unrest sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis that has spread across the nation."
Newman cites as an example, the New York Times' "1619 Project" (created by NY Times reporter Nikole Sheri Hannah-Jones), which he said is "essentially fake history, as historians from across the political spectrum—and even The New York Times' own fact-checker—publicly confirmed."
Kietlinska writes in the Epoch Times article:
Despite this criticism, the series, which posits that America was not founded on the basis of liberty in 1776, but on the basis of slavery in 1619, has become school curriculum that is taught across America, Newman said.
According to Hannah-Jones, the notion is that racism and evil are embedded in the very DNA of America, Newman said. Since DNA cannot be changed or removed, "and so what she's really saying—as the mullahs say in Iran—'Death to America.' You've got to kill America to get rid of this horrible DNA," Newman said.
"This could not be more wrong," because America's founding fathers wanted to abolish slavery as it was incompatible with the country's founding principles based on Christian values, Newman said, adding that Thomas Jefferson fought a war against slave catchers in North Africa, and James Madison, the father of the Constitution, "loathed slavery" and expressed this view on many occasions.
Duly noted is the fact that nearly every culture or civilization has included slavery to some extent in its existence throughout history.
According to Kietlinska's report, Newman warned that "one of the most popular history books in the US is Howard Zinn's 'A People's History of the United States' which is a key text in schools and has sold more than 3 million copies."
Another red-flag warning about this propaganda-history teaching should be the fact that China's government is 100 percent for it.

All of this should be a clarion call to parents, grandparents and all who value truth in history, and especially that of America, to demand that fact-based historical curricula be taught in our public schools.
And if that doesn't happen, parents can pursue charter and private schools, as well as exploring homeschooling as an option.
As Newman pointed out in the Epoch Times report, "The truth, I believe is much more powerful than lies." Click here to read the full article in Epoch Times, by Ella Kietlinska.
