So, if your main argument for the citizenship question is that we asked about citizenship before the 1960 Census, you’re relying on a completely flawed census paradigm.
(4) And if you’re relying on the appearance of citizenship questions on the sample surveys from 1970 onward as some kind of stamp of approval for their appearance on the 2020 head count form, you’re also on bad turf.
Citizenship questions have been confined strictly to the sample forms because the Bureau has long recognized that trying to assess everyone’s citizenship in times of hyper-xenophobic, anti-immigrant politics would destroy the count.
So, in conclusion, claims that the 2020 Census citizenship question is historically sound = BUNK

It's another day ending in "-day," so of course folks are spreading bad history to protect the #2020Census citizenship question. Claims that these questions have a deep history, etc. are misleading, where they’re not outright FALSE. Why? Stroll with me for a minute or two 👇
First, the receipts
We’ve comprehensively and exhaustively dismantled the mythical history of citizenship questions in The Georgetown Law Journal (@GeorgetownLJ): georgetownlawjournal.org/articles/311/c…

Today's revelations about partisan motives behind the citizenship question just expose another layer of its bogusness. In fact, when it comes to the question and the Trump Admin's defense of it, it's been nothing but misdirection and deception, all the way down. Walk with me 👇
Where to start...
(1) The Trump Administration has claimed--in the courts and Congress--that it wanted to add the citizenship question because it would help enforce the Voting Rights Act. Three federal courts have concluded that this claim is FALSE.

Today's win for voters challenging Michigan's gerrymandered election maps is major, potentially ushering in fairer elections in that state. But there are a couple of other reasons this is a major opinion, with SCOTUS implications. Mini-thread 👇@BrennanCenter #fairMaps
1. This win shows just how much the legal tide has turned vs. partisan gerrymandering. As late as 3 years ago, a win for plaintiffs would be unheard of. No longer. Recently, when/where courts have taken up partisan gerrymandering claims, plaintiffs have an impressive win rate.
2. The federal courts are converging on how to analyze partisan gerrymandering claims from a legal standpoint. As the panel in the Michigan case explained:

1- The Madrasa system is like a sleeping dragon which is actually gradually sinking into an ocean. It is in the best interest of our nation, as well as humanity, to avoid awakening it.
2- What I mean to say is that the #Madrasa system in India, especially in the last 20-30 years, has been on a steady decline. While several other countries have been shutting them down #forcefully or through #legislature (due to activities of spreading radicalism).
3- and whereas in India, all our past Govts chose not to disturb the #Madrasa system so that it can #die down #naturally. In fact, several Muzlim families have been moving away from the Madrasa system, and switching to the #normal schooling system for their kids.

Only in U.S. is it controversial to have a citizenship question on the #census—one we’ve had consistently since 1820 (and census still asks it today on the annual American Community Survey): dailysign.al/2Dmw2kU
Even the UN—the left’s favorite model institution—recommends a citizenship question in its manual on how to conduct a census.

Countries like Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico all ask. Are they problematic? bit.ly/2K2kpVm
On 4/23 #SCOTUS is hearing arguments on the citizenship question for #2020Census—common sense and the Constitution say the question should be allowed. dailysign.al/2Dmw2kU

I will link to some fantastic threads here re: #citizenship, but pls, folks - don't waste your day fretting over this. This is a ruse designed to whip up racism & xenophobia before the election. It cannot stand & will not stand.

It's a political stunt.

When I was comducting research on a preliminary thesis topic, I reviewed Georgia's #census records. Let me tell you what I found.

#SaturdaySchool
I found records of interracial marriages between Cherokee women and African men where the census taker changed the wife's ethnicity to Negro after the marriage.
#SoJustCensus
#SaturdaySchool
In changing the ethnicity of the Indigenous Woman, the census-taker effectively reduced her status from 2nd class citizen (within the new United States of course) to non-existent.
