The New York Times’s 1619 Project has added academic curriculum in areas of history, reading, and writing to its repertoire. Most recently, Reparations Math was added to the 1619 syllabus. Author Ian Rowe believes that teaching children this version of history and how the government owes them money is dangerous and detrimental to their taking responsibility for their lives.
“It is so debilitating, so pernicious. It is so harmful to our kids. Instead, we need to advocate for empowering strategies,” Rowe said during a June 27 interview with Ben Shapiro.
