"NEW YORK TIMES EARNS SPOT IN "1619 PROJECT" BY BILL DONOHUE IN THE "CATALYST."

 Preface:

    I hate a raw deal. The New York Times is waging psychological warfare against the American people in this election system. They are to the Democratic Party what Pravda (truth) was to the Communist party in Communist Russia. 

    As a retired public school teacher, I will not accept the "1619 Project" of the New York Times. That project is a Marxist/Communist interpretation of U.S. History. It is an insult to Our Founding Fathers and a subversive attack on our Constitution.

    "Coming on the heels of bloody summer, much of it driven by racially charged rhetoric and behavior, the new school years has begun. But not without calls to address racism. Elementary and secondary students are being primed to learn about America's irredeemably racist past, present, and future. It is an insult to Our Founding Fathers and the Constitution.

     This vision of the Founding is now working its way into school curricula across the nation. It has been formally adopted in Chicago, D.C., Buffalo, Newark, Wilmington and Winston-Salem. Thousands of classrooms around the nation will implement this radical interpretation of American history.

The "1619 Project"is the work of Nikole Hannah-Jones. Her contribution is not the result of her training: She neither a historian or a professor. She is a journalist. And while she complains about systematic racism, Hannah-Jones, whose mother is white and father is black, insisted that no white people work with her on the Project. 

 

    Prominent historians of America's founding have panned her work. In a letter that these leading scholars signed, they charged the "1619 Project" with "a displacement of history understanding by ideology." Another winner of this prize, James Mcpherson, said that it "left most of the history out."

    

    Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn succinctly summed up the problem with Hannah-Jones' creative enterprise. The "1619 Project," he said, is "an ideological campaign to undermine Americans' attachment to our founding principles and to the Constitution by making slavery -- rather than the principles of liberty that ended slavery and preserved our liberties for nearly 250 years - the principle focus of American history."

 

    Students will be taught that Africans were forcibly taken from their homeland and brought to the New World as slaves. They will not be taught that slavery has existed in every part of the globe, and that Africans were bought by Europeans from their African Slave-masters; they were not captured. Nor will students learn that slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865, But it took until 1981 for Africa to make it until 1981. (It still exist in parts of Africa today.)

 

    No nation has made more progress in realizing equal opportunity than the United States. We recently twice elected a black president and have done more to end systematic racism than any other nation. One of the reasons why so many people want to come to our shores - often illegally - is because we are the envy of the world. It is our unparalleled freedom and prosperity that draws so many minorities to come here. But none of this will be taught to students subjected to the "1619 Project." ... "Any school that adopts '1619 Project as a model... has a moral obligation to inform students of the racist legacy of the New York Times." for example,

 

    In the hands of Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, and on a Red Cross tour of England during World War II, he expressed horror at the site of Blake American soldiers "fraternizing with white women. "Rape by Negroes is one degree worse by whites, and black illegitimate children just one degree more unfortunate than white one." That is what he told General Dwight Eisenhower. Arthur's workplace policies were also tinged with racism. A Newspaper Guild survey taken in the 1050s found that the 75,000 newsroom employees he commanded just 38 were black......George H. Kubeck
