Biden Scrapped Trump’s 1776 Commission, But the Former President Has Bad News for America-Haters
Apparently, this was too controversial a mission for the progressives who hate America’s founding, the freedom of Americans to live their own lives, and the Constitutionally limited government that restrains them from carrying out their authoritarian agenda. That is why Biden’s advisers did away with the commission almost immediately. Now, Donald Trump is bringing the commission back.

It is great that Trump is going to keep this vital 1776 commission going and is in the process of creating a shadow government to promote what we would do instead if given power.  The anti 1776 crowd truly hates America and everything we have ever stood for.

Biden Scrapped Trump’s 1776 Commission, But the Former President Has Bad News for America-Haters

One of the first actions by incoming President Biden was to scrap the “1776 Commission,” which was an initiative by former President Trump to restore respect for American history. The White House’s advisers issued a 1776 report that described the commission’s guiding principles.

“The declared purpose of the President’s Advisory 1776 Commission is to ‘enable a rising generation to understand the history and principles of the founding of the United States in 1776 and to strive to form a more perfect Union’,” the report said. “This requires a restoration of American education, which can only be grounded on a history of those principles that is ‘accurate, honest, unifying,
inspiring, and ennobling’. And a rediscovery of our shared identity rooted in our founding principles is the path to a renewed American unity and a confident American future.”

Apparently, this was too controversial a mission for the progressives who hate America’s founding, the freedom of Americans to live their own lives, and the Constitutionally limited government that restrains them from carrying out their authoritarian agenda. That is why Biden’s advisers did away with the commission almost immediately.

Now, Donald Trump is bringing the commission back. And the commission has even more on its plate, including tackling the Marxist Critical Race Theory that is spreading like a poison throughout America’s education system.

“Members of the 1776 Commission , which President Joe Biden disbanded on his first day in White House, are reportedly set to meet again with a renewed focus on combating the teaching of U.S. history based on the Marxist critical race theory,” the Epoch Times reported .

“The advisory commission was established by the Trump administration in November 2020 to celebrate and promote the principles enshrined in the nation’s founding documents,” the reported noted. “It is commonly seen as a response to The New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project, which argues that the United States was founded as, and remains today, a racist nation.”

“In an interview with Washington Examiner , Spalding said that members of the 1776 Commission will convene next week in Washington on the campus of Hillsdale College,” the report added. “One of their topics will be critical race theory, which sees racism in all aspects of American life.”

“When we start going about dividing people by groups, by social identities, and especially by identities that deal with race, and we’re starting to make those kinds of divisions, all Americans should get very nervous,” Spalding said. “It’s a departure away from the historic grounding of civil rights in America, which is that we all are equal.”

Donald Trump is not abandoning the fight for America’s freedom and founding principles. If that means he has to effectively form a shadow government to do the job the Biden administration should be doing, namely, reminding Americans of the greatness of the nation and its founding principles, so be it.

Get your checkbooks out.  Forming a government is expensive.

Umm, I am pretty sure the main job of a government is governing...

Cry me a river.  After Trump scrapped anything he could with Obama's name on it, he does not get to be all butt hurt over this.  It is Trump who hates the US by causing the deaths of over 500,000 of its citizens.

Don't respond, this is the person who said that context doesn't matter.

Imagine being so confused about biology as to believe that makes sense.

The 1776 commission is a great template for American history. Best of all, it's actually fact based as opposed to the facts get in the way approach of the 1619   project

Based on which perspectives. That is the point. No one is denying that events happened or that certain people were/weren't  involved, the idea is to get a more complete picture based on as many perspectives as possible and thus a more complete history.

It is ironic discombobulation at work. The most ignorant president in US history being heralded for reviving a commission purportedly based on academic research. 

In other words, from Trump's perspective, this is a hoax meant to keep his name before his rubes. 

If some enterprising reporters were to ask Trump about the Federalist papers in connection with this project,  I bet you he would be unable to offer even a half coherent response. 

Trump doesn't know anything. Why doesnt that bother any of his admirers?

If you asked Trump in what city was the Declaration Of Independence signed,  I bet he would give the wrong answer.

As if he wouldn’t know something that simple

That is exactly what I am saying.

The commission, which included no historians specializing in United States history, released The 1776 Report on January 18, 2021, two days before the end of Trump's term. Historians condemned the report, saying it was "filled with errors and partisan politics".

This commission is campaign fodder for Trump’s base, who are fearful that the unblemished history they learned in high school and the cultural dominance of white men, are under threat. They are right. Over the past 50 years, historians have documented the hidden history of racism, injustice and unequal treatment sustained by people of color, especially African Americans.

According to the 1776 Commission, “Deliberately destructive scholarship shatters the civic bonds that unite all Americans. It silences the discourse essential to a free society by breeding division, distrust, and hatred among citizens.” Smearing the motives of unnamed evil professors, and claiming without any evidence that they are intentionally lying about history is a pretty disturbing approach, especially from a document that complains about “division, distrust, and hatred” in the very next sentence. The 1776 Commission argues that historians are obligated to produce patriotic propaganda or they are responsible for destroying our civic bonds.

It gets worse: This “deliberately destructive scholarship” is “the intellectual force behind so much of the violence in our cities, suppression of free speech in our universities, and defamation of our treasured national statues and symbols.” It’s sickening to blame critical history for censorship, and then turn around and demand censorship to protect statues from “defamation” (here’s a little lesson for these fine scholars: you can’t defame a statue). But it’s especially appalling for the 1776 Commission to claim that historians are responsible for “the violence in our cities,” apparently imagining that the murder of George Floyd would have generated no protests if only historians had promoted a shiny happy vision of the American past.

The 1776 Commission report is a bizarre and incoherent concoction of smears, right-wing propaganda, anti-intellectual disdain, conspiracy theories, meandering and repetitive idiocy, and outright lies in service of an extremist political agenda. In other words, it is a perfect embodiment of Trumpism and a document Donald Trump will be proud of, even though he will certainly never read it.
