‼️Trump says he will sign an executive order on patriotic education to “clear away the twisted web of lies in our schools.”

1. From the party that hates the government and insists on 'local control of schools."

What an asshole.

P.S. Don't be surprised if Holocaust denial comes next.

2. Patriotic means white supremacist.

President Donald Trump on Thursday denounced school curricula that emphasize the impact of slavery and racism on American history and blamed “left-wing indoctrination” for nationwide protests against police brutality.

“Patriotic moms and dads are going to demand that their children are no longer fed hateful lies about this country,” Trump said in a speech at the National Archives in Washington.

The president claimed U.S. schoolchildren are taught that the U.S. was “founded on the principle of oppression, not freedom” and that they should “feel ashamed of their own history,” a curriculum he called “radical.”

The president on Thursday criticized as “toxic propaganda” the “1619 Project,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning public school curriculum developed by the New York Times that orients American history from the date that the first slave ship arrived in what later became the U.S. He equated certain racial teachings with “child abuse” and argued that the focus on historical sins threatened “to impose a new segregation.” Trump announced he would soon create a “1776 Commission” in an apparent effort to rebut the 1619 Project. The commission will “promote patriotic education,” Trump said.

6. No one is taught to feel ashamed for the past

For things that happened before you were ever born. It is about learning from other people's past mistakes.

Although we adults should feel ashamed for our present situation. The children have nothing to do with it.

If being taught to feel ashamed is a form of child abuse, as he says, then Christianity and other religions need to be outlawed as well.

3. And how is that going to be enforceable?

Plus the schools have plenty enough to worry about with COVID-19 right now. I think they will probably ignore this.

4. Drip Drip Drip...one drop at a time, this is how fascism works.

On the surface this plays right into his bases hands and gives them more reason to blindly follow his lead, but this is just one piece of straw on the camels back.

Another day, another order that removes freedom and replaces it with State approved truth.

5. "National Commission to Promote Patriotic Education."

Well, that doesn't sound like something straight out of the Soviet Union at all.

These revealing historical images take you inside the Hitler Youth and show how mere children became Nazis.

SNIP

With so many members in the fold, the Hitler Youth's purpose was to indoctrinate boys into the Nazi worldview, prepare them for combat, and thoroughly transform them into effective cogs in the Nazi machine.

As Adolf Hitler himself said in 1938:

“These boys and girls enter our organizations [at] ten years of age, and often for the first time get a little fresh air; after four years of the Young Folk they go on to the Hitler Youth, where we have them for another four years . . . And even if they are still not complete National Socialists, they go to Labor Service and are smoothed out there for another six, seven months . . . And whatever class consciousness or social status might still be left . . . the Wehrmacht [German armed forces] will take care of that.”

Indeed, the aim of the Hitler Youth was to take an incoming 14-year-old and systematically mold him into the person that the party needed him to be by the time he was 18 and ready to leave the organization.

9. The only thing patriotic about him is getting his fat, orange ass kicked out of the White House.

10. Boys & Girls of 'Hitler's Youth'

Boys aged 14 – 18 years joined the Hitler Youth (Hitler Jugend). They were prepared to be soldiers by doing military activities.

Girls aged 10 – 14 years joined the Young Maidens (Jungmadel) where they were taught good health practices as well as how to become good mothers and housewives. They also learnt about Nazi views on racial purity and anti-semitism.


Girls aged 14 – 21 joined the League of German Maidens (Deutscher Madel) where they were further prepared for their roles as the mother of future Germans.

14. BwaHAhahahahaha. Omg hes such an asshole.

If he actually thinks this will be taken seriously by anyone but his drooling inbred base, he really is off his rocker lol.

Yes, we should be worried about his capacity for abuse. We should also NOT FORGET how fragile they all are, and just fucking MOCK THEM, mercilessly and at every public opportunity.

A patriotic education lol. Donald my response to that is Oscar Wilde: 'patriotism is a virtue of the VISCIOUS.', you fat stupid hateful worthless orange daughterfucker.

At least he's helping the paper and Sharpie industries....... .....

19. +1

Most of his so-called Executive Orders are nothing but his KKK signature on a piece of paper. After he's gone they'll be thrown in the circular file.
