What's more, I have confidence in my side of that debate: that considering 1776 as America's true founding is better and more inclusive (full argument here https://t.co/fh6JjqFhfV). Teaching the debate highlights how unifying the civic creed expressed in 1776 can be today. — PolitiTweet.org

Unlike Trump, I believe The 1619 Project has a place in schools so long as the strongest criticism of it is taught, too--that teaching such public controversies is a good thing if done well. Some students learn *best* from engaging in debates about a subject. — PolitiTweet.org

That debate has become distorted. Everyone always agreed 1776 is the literal political founding. For many months, everyone acknowledged the Project made the provocative claim that Americans ought to consider their country's "true" or symbolic founding to be 1619 instead — PolitiTweet.org
