Pulitzer Prize-Winning 1619 Project Set to Advance Socialism Teaching in the Classroom

The Pulitzer Prize Board recently awarded its commentary award to The New York Times’ Nikole Hannah-Jones for her essay launching the “1619 Project.” This will accelerate a trend already underway: subjecting schoolchildren to a curriculum that blames slavery on capitalism and whose creator believes socialism offers the best path to racial equity.

The overt political nature of the 1619 Project should alert parents, educators, members of school boards, and political leaders that a major political experiment is being practiced on the nation’s schoolchildren.

The 1619 Project isn’t just a series of articles placing slavery at the center of the American story. It is also a curriculum that is sweeping the land. No sooner had the prize been announced than the Pulitzer Center—which is independent of the prizes—was using it to promote that curriculum.

The center boasted that it had “connected curricula based on the work of Hannah-Jones and her collaborators to some 4,500 classrooms since August 2019.”

Will they also mention the Egyptians enslaving the Jewish people? What about the Incas and Mayans enslaving neighboring tribe? How about the Romans enslaving the Anglo Saxons? What about current slavery in The Sudan? And the list goes on...
