- The 1776 Commission met in D.C. on Monday May 24th
The statement praises federalism and the primary role of parents in protecting their children from being "taught false narratives or fed hateful lies about our country." Like-minded people should run for school boards, and states and localities should reform their curricula to "teach our true history."
The federal government is seeking to circumvent the Constitution's reservation to the states of unenumerated federal powers (like a power to nationalize educational standards) by incentivizing school districts to adopt its "one-size-fits-all" proposal, which like the Common Core standards is a "blueprint for trivializing and mechanizing learning," the commission said.
The panel submitted a shorter version of its statement for the federal rulemaking, which drew nearly 24,000 comments.
The commission is led by Larry Arnn, president of non-taxpayer-funded Hillsdale College, and Carol Swain, a retired law professor at Vanderbilt University. It also includes Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights member Peter Kirsanow, historian Victor Davis Hanson and former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant.

One of the first actions by Joe Biden was to scrap the “1776 Commission,” which was an initiative by President Trump to restore respect for American history. But Donald Trump is not abandoning the fight for America’s freedom and founding principles.

The President’s Advisory 1776 Commission Mission Statement: "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. 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".
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.
Now, Donald Trump is bringing the commission back.
“Members of the 1776 Commission, which 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.
In an interview with Washington Examiner, Matthew Spalding, the 1776 Commission's executive director, said that members of the 1776 Commission will convene next week in Washington on the campus of Hillsdale College. 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 .. it’s a departure away from the historic grounding of civil rights in America, which is that we all are equal.”

“The U.S. has stood with Israel for decades and we won’t let fringe progressives try to divide our alliance.”
Our representative took to Twitter to detail the attacks that now is a “pivotal time for US-Israeli relations” and further assigned the blame to Hamas terrorists for the carnage in the region:
"Israel, our most critical ally, is being attacked by Iranian backed terrorists. Launching rockets at Israeli civilians, while hiding behind their own civilians. We’re not going to let a couple of loud progressive left voices stand between us and our Israeli allies.”
. Waltz’s comments only further the ultimatum given to progressives in the House ... either you stand with Israel, or you stand with the terrorists.

. Why does virtually every statement that comes out of the Biden administration bear zero resemblance to reality?
Perhaps it doesn’t need to when the media goes into full spin mode to cover for Biden’s failures. It's dizzying to watch, given the number of crises they have to deflect attention from
They cover up Democrat perfidy and invent Republican scandals. They try to police our language. They condescend to us. They dox innocent citizens. They lie all the time. They carry water for liberal leakers. Yet, we’re supposed to pretend they deserve our respect and deference, that they are courageous heroes battling for truth. Pfffft.
The most active supporters of censorship in our culture are members of the news media itself, bar none.
See, the media hates us and actively sides with our enemies. It’s always amusing how these hacks do not even bother to hide their full-throated collaboration with the people who want us silenced, disenfranchised, and/or dead, yet get all huffy when we refuse to treat them as the neutral truth-tellers they aren’t.
Our contempt for them is a result of their contempt for us. And as individuals and collectively, we should do whatever we lawfully can to hasten the collapse of the mainstream media as an institution. Harsh? Nah. They are a joke. The media is garbage, and we must treat it as such. What can you do to hasten the destruction of the garbage media?
Number one, don’t patronize it. Don’t subscribe to enemy media outlets. Don’t watch them. Give them nothing.
Number two, never help them. When mainstream media outlets call you to get some info, refuse to help. And tell them why – because they suck. And GOP hacks, you need to rethink going on the media that hates us – I get the idea of speaking to the other side to expose them to the truth, but it won’t work.
Number three, support GOP candidates who will cut off the special privileges the garbage media enjoys. The media now wants additional antitrust exemptions and intellectual property protections from Congress to save it from collapse. How about…no?
Number four, mock the media. There is no institution with a more inflated sense of itself than the press. Your refusal to pretend that these oafs deserve respect causes them no end of fussy fury. So, refuse.
