I’m happy to see our tax money being used to publish fascist propaganda. By the way, if you want to read this steaming pile of horseshit, you can find it on the White House Website.
Here’s a nice piece of slavery apologetics just in time for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday (page 10)
Slavery
The most common charge levelled against the founders, and hence against our country itself, is that they were hypocrites who didn’t believe in their stated principles, and therefore the country they built rests on a lie. This charge is untrue, and has done enormous damage, especially in recent years, with a devastating effect on our civic unity and social fabric. Many Americans labor under the illusion that slavery was somehow a uniquely American evil. It is essential to insist at the outset that the institution be seen in a much broader perspective. It is very hard for people brought up in the comforts of modern America, in a time in which the idea that all human beings have inviolable rights and inherent dignity is almost taken for granted, to imagine the cruelties and enormities that were endemic in earlier times. But the unfortunate fact is that the institution of slavery has been more the rule than the exception throughout human history.

Some seem to be just realizing that the actions of the president of the US have a huge influence on the public.
He incited violence against protesters, he refused to wear a mask, he lied about nonexistent “voter fraud,” and he did it all right in front of everyone.— Charles Johnson (@Green_Footballs) January 19, 2021
On the advice of our medical team, the Administration does not intend to lift these restrictions on 1/26. In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel in order to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

re: #14 jaunte
As usual with most Republican projects relating even remotely to the subject of “Civics”, the “1776 Report” seems to have designed expressly for the main (probably the sole) purpose of having any and all criticisms of its aims or content deflected by the single riposte of “Why do you hate America?”

Now it’s, “Choose love.”

The entire purpose of the 1776 dreck from the Trump administration is to give an intellectual veneer to a social order where white men are on top and always have been.
