The Hate America Project
How the New York Times, the Pulitzer Foundation, and America’s cultural elite have aimed a dagger at America’s heart.

America is unique among nations in being founded on a set of ideas and values rather than having a shared “identity” based solely on “blood and soil.” The founding of America during the revolutionary era of the 1770s and ’80s was based on principles that provide the sinews of our national identity. They are what create a unity out of the diverse peoples that have settled and occupied this country since its founding. They have been the inspirational force that enabled America to abolish slavery, become a global symbol of freedom, and provide the world’s chief bulwark against global tyrannies.
It is this inspirational memory that the political left has set out to erase and destroy. The most disturbing manifestation of this sinister aggression is the “1619 Project,” the brainchild of a staff writer at the New York Times named Nikole Hannah-Jones.
It is supported by the Pulitzer Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, and the nation’s cultural elite. Six months after its launch, the 1619 Project is already a curriculum in 3,500 public high schools in all 50 states. Given the extreme left-wing nature of the teachers’ unions and the public education establishment, this is hardly surprising.
