There is a growing war against the past. Our heroes of yesteryear, even George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, are under attack.
I was disheartened to see ads for Hulu presenting a series based on the discredited 1619 Project. As I’ve noted in a column many months ago, the 1619 Project postulates that America began in 1619, when the first black slaves were brought here — not 1776, when the founders declared independence.
Dr. Ben Carson writes on his website:
In recent years,…many people in politics, academia, and the media have questioned the values of the American founding. They have focused on the faults of certain Founding Fathers — along with the undeniable fact that the rights they championed were not originally enjoyed by all Americans — and cast doubt upon whether any of their fancy words are important today.
