Trump Announces Patriotic Education Commission

WASHINGTON, 18 September 2020, (TON): President Trump on Thursday said he would create a commission to promote "patriotic education" and announced the creation of a grant to develop a "pro-American curriculum." The move is largely political — a reaction to a growing push by some academics for schools to teach an American history that better acknowledges slavery and systemic racism.

In the speech, President Trump claimed "twisted web of lies" being taught in US classrooms about systemic racism in America, calling it "a form of child abuse."  He said, "Teaching this horrible doctrine to our children is a form of child abuse, the truest sense." He clarified, “For many years now, the radicals have mistaken Americans' silence for weakness. They're wrong. There is no more powerful force than a parent's love for their children. And patriotic moms and dads are going to demand that their children are no longer fed hateful lies about this country."
