      .@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

          So are they also gonna defund schools for not teaching that George Washington was a slave owning tyrant that loved to massacre the Natives?

          Lmao like the schools get any funding to begin with. Imo the concept of school is outdated we need kids taking online courses instead of going to prison to be taught next to nothing valuable

          That would socially stunt them. I could see education revamping but there always needs to be healthy interaction.. good thoughts though.. I’m sure the education boards could totally unanimously decide on things ... right? :/

          this reminds me of how the Kochs modified the curriculum to propagate the greatness of being white. Stand for the truth & facts. That’s what students need to learn.

          Yup, and teaching just how entrenched slavery was is an important historical lesson to learn about the United States. You can't get around it.
