Donald Trump threatened to defund schools in California that use the New York Times' 1619 Project in the public school curriculum. The banning of the 1619 project is the latest effort by Trump against new progressive interpretations to history that he deems un-American. Some schools said they wanted to use the 1619 Project into their curriculum but some efforts have been thwarted. AdvertisementThe bill would 'prohibit the use of federal funds to teach the 1619 Project by K-12 schools or school districts. Schools that teach the 1619 Project would also be ineligible for federal professional-development grants.'
