The Real Clear Foundation has launched a new American civics education portal, dedicated to renewing civic education in the United States.
If one good thing has come out of this season of quarantine, it’s that parents, forced to homeschool, are getting to see the unpatriotic and liberal curriculum public schools are teaching. In a recent article at the Federalist, Beth Freeley wrote about a world history assignment on gender theory (parents raising “theybies”) and a physics assignment on critical race theory that her freshman received from his public school. Evidently, a supplemental source like Real Clear’s American Civics Portal could not have come at a better time.
Though the American Civics Portal is not a direct response to the New York Times’ “ 1619 Project” it is “more than an answer” it, David DesRosiers, publisher of RealClearPolitics, wrote in an email.
The “1619 Project” is an initiative by the New York Times and the Pulitzer Center to reeducate Americans about American history. They seek to teach school children that America’s real founding date is not July 4, 1776—the day the United States declared independence from Great Britain—but 1619, the year slaves were first brought to Jamestown.
Even now, One World, an imprint of Penguin Random House, is working to turn the “1619 Project” into a series of books. This will include new and expanded essays as well as fiction and poetry. Further, according to Pulitzer’s Annual Report, more than 3,500 classrooms around the nation have been given free copies of the “1619” curriculum. That represents more than 100,000 students who are learning that, as Nicole Hannah-Jones puts it in her flagship essay, our founding principles were a lie.
In contrast “RealClear’s American Civics web portal gives students, teachers, and citizens-in-the-making a clear understanding of our nation’s founding principles and history,” stated DesRosiers. “We draw upon the best resources, research, and scholarly writing in order to educate and inspire a new generation of Americans,” he said.

Obama calls on Democrats to ‘go further’ in pushing ‘unfinished’ leftist agenda on America
Going in for the Kill?
“I could not be prouder of the incredible progress that we made together during my presidency, but if I were running today, I wouldn’t run the same race or have the same platform as I did in 2008,” Obama said. “The world is different; there’s too much unfinished business for us to just look backwards. We have to look to the future. Bernie understands that, and Joe understands that.” Read More
Declassifications Show Durham Is Democrats’ Worst Nightmare
Durham report and all that entails
Let’s hope, for more reasons than one, that the CCP virus is no longer too heavily with us this summer, because America is going to need its full attention, or what’s left of it, for what’s coming down the pike—the Durham report and all that entails.
That means, of course, the investigation of how and why the Mueller/Russia probe happened, and whether anyone will be prosecuted for it.
Many have been skeptical that any of the possible guilty parties in this situation would be punished, but the tide toward prosecution may be turning. Read More
