The architect of The New York Times’ anti-American “1619 Project,” Nikole Hannah-Jones, admitted in a weekend interview that left-wing educators have no intention of inviting parents into the classroom when it comes to their children’s curricula.
“I don’t really understand this idea that parents should decide what’s being taught,” Jones said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “I’m not a professional educator, I don’t have a degree in social studies.”
Jones, the same writer whose signature project is riddled with so many “errors and distortions” that the National Association of Scholars demanded that the Pulitzer board revoke her award, has watched her project be incorporated into at least 4,500 classrooms nationwide.
In the same interview on Sunday, Jones touted her project as a “great learning tool for students.” //
Another reason the left conceals its desire to manipulate school curriculums without parental input is the homeschooling revolution it’s produced.
Census data shows more than 11 percent of U.S. households are now homeschooling, with 2.6 million kids making the switch since the pandemic began, according to an analysis from the Bellwether Education Partners.

The 2021 census saw a phenomenal growth in homeschooling. Up 5 million from 3.2 million.
If democrats want to be the party of parents don’t and shouldn’t get to have any say or control over what their children are being taught in school, your party is going the way of the whigs.

Nikole Hannah-Jones: Parents shouldn't be in charge of their kids' schooling: "I don't really understand this idea that parents should decide what's being taught. I'm not a professional educator. I don't have a degree in social studies." Yet she wants the 1619 Project in schools.
