1776 Commission Takes Historic and Scholarly Step to Restore Understanding; January 18, 2021

Thank God for Saint Ronny, or we'd all be speaking Communist now.

Families are the key. And by family, we mean one kind and one kind only:

The Role of the Family

By their very nature, families are the first educators, teaching children how to treat others with respect, make wise decisions, exercise patience, think for themselves, and steadfastly guard their God-given liberties. It is good mothers and fathers, above all others, who form good people and good citizens.

When children see their mother and father hard at work, they learn the dignity of labor and the reward of self-discipline.

Pre-write for future historians: "Though the insurrection had failed, Republicans used Trump's remaining time to promote white nationalism. On MLK Jr. Day, the administration published a report asserting slavery was both necessary and consistent with the Framers' stated ideals."

1776 Commission Takes Historic and Scholarly Step to Restore Understanding of the Greatness of the American Founding

Issued on: January 18, 2021

1776 Commission—comprised of some of America’s most distinguished scholars and historians—has released a report presenting a definitive chronicle of the American founding, a powerful description of the effect the principles of the Declaration of Independence have had on this Nation’s history, and a dispositive rebuttal of reckless “re-education” attempts that seek to reframe American history around the idea that the United States is not an exceptional country but an evil one.

A copy of the report can be found here.

propaganda. Biden needs to disavow it in its entirety and delete it from the web-site.

Say what you will about the tenets of anti-anti-slavery but at least it's an ethos.
