The president wants to create a commission that will teach 'the miracle' of U.S. history as schools attempt to reckon more honestly with the legacy of slavery.

claimed Thursday that American schoolchildren are “fed lies” about the country being “plagued by racism,” and he plans to sign an executive order intended to encourage schools to give students a “patriotic education.”Despite this, Trump’s order will establish a commission to promote lessons that “teach our children about the miracle of American history.”

Speaking alongside original copies of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, Trump falsely said the project had been “totally discredited.” Contrary to his statement, 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones“Teaching this horrible doctrine to our children is a form of child abuse, the truest sense,” Trump said.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said. “America’s founding set in motion the unstoppable chain of events that abolished slavery, secured civil rights, defeated communism and fascism, and built the most fair, equal and prosperous nation in human history.”
