Just a day before Election Day, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to push “patriotic education” by establishing the federal 1776 Commission.

Trump wrote on the eve of Election Day: “Just signed an order to establish the 1776 Commission. We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students, and restore PATRIOTIC EDUCATION to our schools!”
