“Normally, the Pulitzer is not awarded to individuals whose material is considered not credible by a majority of experts in the field. When the editors responsible for the 1619 Project have been confronted with errors and contradictions of their portrayal of American history, rather than intelligently articulate an historically informed position, they have retreated into the postmodern claim that it is all a matter of interpretation.”

“analyze all aspects of American life. It provides a substitute narrative to compete with the traditional American philosophical and historical narrative that has shaped our culture and values. It establishes a new foundation for the continued promulgation of identity politics in America. By it, the Marxist hopes to facilitate the achievement of violent revolution, while the compassionate but ignorant “tool of reactionary intrigue” simply hopes to remake American society into something she has been trained to believe is more just and equitable.”

“BECAUSE OF THE WISDOM and encouragement of good parents, I decided to attend the United States Air Force Academy following high school. I got in because I was good at basketball, not because I had ever been a serious student. Life at the Academy was difficult but rewarding. The first two years were particularly taxing, especially for those like me who had just left home for the first time in their lives. When my incoming class of freshmen and I first arrived, we had everything stripped from us—civilian clothes, cars, cell phones, other personal belongings, and even our hair. Thus began my initiation into a respectable tradition, one for which I have been profoundly grateful. That tradition taught us not to lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.

“America’s founding philosophy and the principles described above are under attack in our country. The idea of a Creator, for example, is replaced with secularism and atheism. Equality before the law is replaced with forced equality of outcomes. Instead of celebrating our national achievements and progress, many demonize conservatives, whites, men, heterosexuals, Jews, Christians, and the rich, seeking to hold them accountable for evils and injustices of the past. The inherent value of the individual is attacked and replaced with value that is based upon group identity. Reason and the pursuit of objective truth are mocked, and postmodern subjectivity, ugliness, and criticism take their place. The liberties of many are trampled because of the insistence of a loud, angry, and sometimes violent minority. Self-defense is criminalized while destruction of others’ personal property is permitted in the name of freedom, justice, and equality. Government overreach is now the rule rather than the exception.”
