President Donald Trump’s advisory 1776 Commission on Monday released a public report, fulfilling its task to revisit the nation’s founding history in an effort to reunite the Americans around its founders’ principles.

Americans today are “deeply divided” about the meaning of their country, its history, and how it should be governed, according to the commission, which was created in the final year of Trump’s first term, amid an increasingly popular trend of portraying the American story as one that based on racism and oppression. . . .

Some of these are historical, such as slavery, which is fundamentally incompatible with the idea that “all men are created equal.” Others are more contemporary, such as progressivism, which holds that the Constitution should constantly evolve to secure evolving rights; fascist and communist movements seeking a totalitarian government with no respect for individual rights; and modern identity politics in favor of a system of explicit group privilege in the name of “social justice.” . . .

The report warns of the dangers of modern political movements departing from America’s founding principles, noting that many of the historical movements were successful because they help up those principles, rather than breaking from them. . . .

The report calls for a “national renewal” of education to teach the future American citizens the founding principles and the character necessary to live out those principles. A patriotic education, according to the authors, doesn’t mean ignoring the faults in the nation’s past, but rather viewing the history in a clear and wholesome manner, with reverence and love. . . .

The authors specifically called out historian Howard Zinn and the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1619 Project for preventing students from seeing the humanity, goodness, and benevolence in America’s historical figures. Instead, they present their young readers with a distorted version of American history.

“Historical revisionism that tramples honest scholarship and historical truth, shames Americans by highlighting only the sins of their ancestors, and teaches claims of systemic racism that can only be eliminated by more discrimination, is an ideology intended to manipulate opinions more than educate minds,” the report reads. . . .

“Above all, we must stand up to the petty tyrants in every sphere who demand that we speak only of America’s sins while denying her greatness,” the report states. “At home, in school, at the workplace, and in the world, it is the people—and only the people—who have the power to stand up for America and defend our way of life.”

I submitted a request for legal help this morning with ACLJ because this report has now been taken down from the whitehouse.gov content site, now delivering a 404 Page not found error. This document, along with all other tax-payer taxpayer funded government document projects, are the property of the people of the United States of America, and may not be removed from public viewing. Please pray that
1. Light overcomes darkness
2. Darkness cannot comprehend it
3. Truth is established

    Is it possible to access the 1776 Report anywhere at all? I would like to see it, and I pray that it will be used instead of discarded. It is needed so badly.

        Thank you! I reviewed the 1776 report and want to encourage everyone to read it and get it to your children, grandchildren, friends, any teachers that you know, and church members. If this had been taught in the government schools we might not be in the dangerous situation that we are. This is true history that needs to counter the FALSE history of the 1619 Project.
        Please, Father God, I pray that people will read this, use it, and help bring TRUTH to this nation, especially the young. I declare and decree truth in this nation and world in the mighty name of Jesus. May Jehovah Nissi, Our Banner, be our standard!

THANK YOU for the Public Report of the 1776 Commission. It is an eloquent addition to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Gettysburg Address. May God grant the opportunity to put it into effect in our nation’s schools!

Thank you Heavenly Father God for blessings us with President Donald Trump who values truth. May the parents, teachers, students and all citizens have a burning passion to seek and know truth. The truth about our country’s history and founding fathers, about what is going on in our government and about the person of truth Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank you Mr.President.
America is a land unlike any other and has great ideals and patriots that should be taught about. I was. It is a great shame “the left” has taken over control of teaching in schools against our own country. Dear God, we all have not deserted you here in America. Thank you POTUS Donald Trump.
