3/x Why should the false revisionist history not be used as the basis of K-12 education across the nation? Not because of “cancel culture,” which you support. But because it wrong & deliberately deceptive. As your former board member put it, “history itself is one more...”
4/x “...ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.” Academic work should face scrutiny. Should aspire to accuracy. Not at the NYT. Weiss explained, “If a person’s ideology is in keeping w/ the new orthodoxy, they & their work remain unscrutinized...”
5/x “...Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome.... “The paper of record is, more and more, the record of those living in a distant galaxy, one whose concerns are profoundly removed from the lives of most people...”
6/x “...This is a galaxy in which...the Soviet space program is lauded for its ‘diversity’; the doxxing of teenagers in the name of justice is condoned; and the worst caste systems in human history includes the United States alongside Nazi Germany.”
7/x Here are some of the lies in the 1619 Project. In your own words: "[America’s] founding ideals were false when they were written." "The United States is a nation founded on both an ideal & a lie."
8/x NYT: "[O]ne of the primary reasons the colonists decided to declare independence was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery." ALL FALSE. And thoroughly debunked by accomplished historians like Gordon Wood & James McPherson.
9/x So, no, I don’t want to “cancel” the NYT. I want y’all to stop behaving like Marxist propagandists, stop peddling falsehoods to children, and behave instead like real journalists.
Imagine for a second, if you will, a Trump syncopat tweeting that anything *should aspire to accuracy*
Is David Barton a historian who work should be taken seriously?
Ted actually said Columbus discovered American and was a beloved friend to the Native Americans who welcomed their enslavement. Not really the guy to give a lecture about "revisionist History"
