Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has introduced a bill that would prohibit federal funds from going toward the teaching of New York Times’s “1619 Project,” which he called a “racially divisive, revisionist account of history.”
During an interview on Sunday with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Cotton defended the bill he introduced to Congress that would cut federal funding to public schools where the “1619 Project” is being taught as part of history curricula.
