      Some historians say the bills are part of a larger effort by Republicans to downplay the ugly legacy of slavery and the contributions of Black people, Native Americans, women and others present during the nation's founding.https://bit.ly/36Sxg5x

      Political battles have long been fought, largely in education boards, over how American students learn about everything from the Civil War to ethnic studies and health. But this proposed legislation signals future debates may increasingly play out in state legislatures.

      The legislation out of Arkansas and Mississippi both call the project "a racially divisive and revisionist account of history that threatens the integrity of the Union by denying the true principles on which it was founded."https://bit.ly/36Sxg5x

      .@ProfKori notes several of the anti-1619 Project bills include language that seeks to address the project as a "revisionist," racially divisive framing of history. Race does not intertwine with history only when people of color are involved, she said. https://bit.ly/36Sxg5x pic.twitter.com/Dvyoo57JBX

      .@nhannahjones told The 19th that she doesn't believe the lawmakers who have filed these statehouse bills have actually read the project. She encouraged them and others to read the initiative before deciding how they feel about it.https://bit.ly/36Sxg5x

          Michèle Foster, a professor at the University of Louisville, said much of what she learned about slavery she got from her family, not school. She sees a connection between the Capitol riots and the bills filed, linking them to fear of a changing country.https://bit.ly/36Sxg5x

          "I think there are historical and societal conditions that give rise to this fear, and one way to deal with fear is to pass legislation that restricts it," Foster said. More from @bcrodriguez:https://bit.ly/36Sxg5x
