Understanding the 1776 Report

Understanding the 1776 Report

Ray Moore M.A.
0/5 ( ratings)
Understanding The 1776 Report is for educational administrators, teachers, parents, and students. Published under President Trump in January 2021 as a counter to The New York Times' The 1619 Project , The 1776 Report argues the case for patriotic education, particularly with regard to the teaching of history and civics.

As an immigrant with a keen interest in American History, I offer a perspective of someone who can look at events as an outsider. Rather than someone who has been educated in the American education system. Whether you are on the political Right or Left, The 1776 Report is essential reading. Although it was withdrawn almost immediately by the new Biden administration, it will continue to focus and influence the debate over what schools and colleges teach about race in America and how they teach it. The report will impact the writing of state education laws, school curricula, and textbooks for years to come. As I write this in late July 2021, this is already happening.

I have no intention or interest in ‘debunking’ or ‘exposing the lies of’ The 1776 Report . Scholars do not aim to do those things, and any who set out to do so forfeit the right to be regarded as scholars. They are mere propagandists. Instead, my analysis offers a critique of the text in which I attempt to separate fact from myth and valid from invalid arguments. As a critical reader, my first instinct is always to look for common ground and only then to focus on differences – an approach that I recommend to readers. The work is divided into
A Preface and Introduction which explain the author's perspective;
A glossary of terms that gives a mini-essay on the key terms used to talk about slavery and racism;
A reader's guide to The 1776 Project which includes helpful questions and a detailed commentary.
