Americans must join hands to stop the 1619 Project's poisonous slanders
[NYPOST] On his first day in office, President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family......
signed an executive order abolishing the 1776 Commission established by his predecessor. But the 1776 Commission isn’t going away quietly, and all Americans should be grateful for that.

While the stated intent of the commission was to help prepare for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, then-President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s real purpose was to correct the lies told about our Founding by The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

’ 1619 Project.

The Times project’s central proposition is that the arrival of the first African slaves on these shores in 1619 was the "true" founding of the American republic. According to project director Nikole Hannah-Jones, the colonies launched the American Revolution in defense of slavery — a claim debunked by some of the ­nation’s most eminent historians, including many liberal scholars, not that Hannah-Jones and her editors had enough shame to forthrightly retract it.

The 1619 Project mainstreamed the critical race theories and anti-American historical distortions that went kaboom! in the 2020 riots. Indeed, as Charles Kesler suggested in these pages, last summer’s violent mostly peaceful unrest could be called the 1619 riots.

Despite 1619’s errors, big and small — not least the outrageous characterization of Lincoln as a racist bent on resettling liberated slaves in Africa — Hannah-Jones won a Pulitzer Prize; the Times might as well house the award next to its 1932 Pulitzer for reporting that covered up Stalin’s terror famine in Ukraine.

Yet school districts around the country have embraced 1619 as a curricular template for teaching US history. Trump, then, was right to establish a commission that would counter the influence of a project designed to poison the minds of students. But Biden, ­intent on reversing everything Trump did and in thrall to his party’s left wing, dumped it.

Despite the presidential shutdown, the group informally reissued the report it submitted in January. More important, members met again in May to begin an effort to push back against a new Biden Department of Education rule that would, under the guise of "anti-racism," direct federal funds to programs that will be guided by critical race theory.

That means the Biden administration will actually be encouraging and funding the teaching of ­racial discrimination — mirroring its overtly racist COVID-relief ­efforts that exclude white farmers and restaurateurs.

In-group favoritism, sometimes known as in-group–out-group bias, in-group bias, intergroup bias, or in-group preference, is a pattern of favoring members of one's in-group over out-group members. This can be expressed in evaluation of others, in allocation of resources, and in many other ways.

Two prominent theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of in-group favoritism are realistic conflict theory and social identity theory. Realistic conflict theory proposes that intergroup competition, and sometimes intergroup conflict, arises when two groups have opposing claims to scarce resources. In contrast, social identity theory posits a psychological drive for positively distinct social identities as the general root cause of in-group favoring behavior.
If a manager's favoritism is based on a protected characteristic, such as race, sex, or religion, that might constitute illegal discrimination. For example, if a manager refuses to promote Latino employees or gives plum assignments to younger workers only, employees may be able to sue for discrimination.

Biden is guilty of this behavior in office.

Offense #2 - Impeach !
