      I’ll note, again, the effort to conflate the entire magazine issue with its lead essay — and really, a single sentence in that essay — a transparent attempt to discredit a host of arguments and observations from historians, artists, & other journalists.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/09/opinion/nyt-1619-project-criticisms.html …

      I’ll also note that the objectors have arguably gone too far in the other direction, so eager to discredit the project as to ignore volumes of scholarship on the ways that the drive for racial control — by way of slavery and expropriation of native land — shaped the revolution.

      It is really something to assert that 1776 demonstrates the nobility of the American founding when the Declaration explicitly charges the crown with stirring up slave revolts and preventing Americans from stealing Native land.pic.twitter.com/8nkN2YVr84

          The Declaration embodies my theory of writing: if you knock the beginning out of the park you have license to kind of suck the rest of the way

          I read much of it out loud in an introductory politics class. It shocks.

          While I think it's ridiculous that schools force students to recite the pledge of allegiance, I'd say "You can have that" if every other day was devoted to reading through the declaration of independence, the constitution, the amendments and bill of rights. #ReturnToCivics

          I think the constitution is kind of like a really good cheeseburger: no matter how good it is, by the time your halfway through most people are no longer paying attention.
