What bad history am I defending here exactly.
In your zeal to knock down GameFAQs users who are Wrong On The Internet, you're aligning yourself with Republicans looking to prevent the needed education into parts of American history that have been wiped.

Please read my post where I explain the magic trick Republicans are trying to play here, and how you're falling for it.

I don't get why people get so upset when they are taught people who aren't them that died a long time ago might have been shitty.
When you realize that these people have the same ideological core as slave-owners, and that they view this ideology as truly sacred and profound, then the pieces start falling into place.

No, in defending what is clearly bad history you are giving Republicans ammo to attack and discredit legitimate education on the subject.

I think the point you are missing is that typos can be fixed, revisions added, research perfected. Like a video game it can be patched without throwing away the entire project.

Also, historians are going to disagree on stuff, so who's to say Leslie M. Harris is the best person to listen to? Why so quick to jump to her conclusions?

Also, if you read her article, you'd see that she says

"I Helped Fact-Check the 1619 Project. The Times Ignored Me.
The papers series on slavery made avoidable mistakes. But the attacks from its critics are much more dangerous."

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/03/06/1619-project-new-york-times-mistake-122248

So literally, by using her voice to attack the 1619 project you are perpetuating the kind of problems that she warns against.

Either she's credible and we should revise the 1619 project for inaccuracies (seems like a good idea to me)

Or she's not credible, and we shouldn't listen to her about anything (she seems credible to me).

You want to hold her up as a reason for not teaching this project, but she supports the concept...

She takes issue, specifically, with the idea that the revolution was fought to protect slavery. She argues that it was not a major reason for the revolution (likely because England was ALREADY allowing slavery in it's colonies, so it doesn't make sense for them to go to war to protect slavery when they already had it).

She cites how, in many ways, the revolution was a "disruptor" of slavery in the North.

She ends by saying, "It is easy to correct facts; it is much harder to correct a worldview that consistently ignores and distorts the role of African Americans and race in our history in order to present white people as all powerful and solely in possession to the keys of equality, freedom and democracy. At least that is the corrective history toward which the 1619 Project is moving, if imperfectly."

Again you're just falling for it. Over and over.

The argument is not bad history. The argument is black history.

And the Republicans dangled 1619 in front of your nose and you just snapped at it like a dog who hasn't seen fresh cured meat in over a year.

I have presented the amount the 1619 Project will have in relevance to this proposal, but clearly you don't want to hear it and I'm starting to believe you never did.

If you want to argue the merits of the 1619 Project, do it in another topic, because this is not that topic, no matter how much you want to believe it is.

No one would be talking about it anymore if multiple people weren't defending it purely because their ego got hurt.

You'd think "Slavery and institutional racism should be taught in schools but in a curriculum developed by actual historians" would not be controversial but, CE.

Again and again and again you don't want to discuss the actual subject here.

You've fallen for a base-level Republican trap, can't argue your way out of it, so instead you just decide "this is what we're talking about now, because this is where I can win."

And your response now is "Well it's their fault I'm discussing this because they had to be wrong about it!" Like take some personal responsibility, for crying out loud.

The 1619 project is far more true to reality than the narrative that any of us were taught in school. No one is saying it's perfect, but uncritically asserting that it's CRT and CRT is categorically bad, while having nothing to say about the trash we've been taught is ridiculous.

That kinda defeats the purpose of having History class though. Slavery is a pretty important theme in the history of the world, and the way you write about it having a definitive "end" undersells the ongoing struggles of former enslaved populations, being treated as less than full-citizens (to put it mildly). Schools need to teach how the reverberations of slavery are manifest today.

It's just not the big massive criticism that you think it is.

You also don't understand history as an academic subject. There is no "history", there are histories. Each historian peices together a bunch of disparate poorly conserved elements and tries to synthesize a narrative that subjectively seems interesting and unifying. Like, you just have no exposure and are pretending to be some sort of expert here defending "the facts".
