Sen. @TomCottonAR has introduced a bill prohibiting the use of federal funds to teach the 1619 Project because apparently “The Federal Government has a strong interest in promoting an accurate account of the Nation’s history through public schools.” cotton.senate.gov/files/document…

This bill speaks to the power of journalism more than anything I’ve ever done in my career. The @pulitzercenter curriculum is available for free here: pulitzercenter.org/blog/pulitzer-….
.@TomCottonAR in 2017 on voting to overturn Obama school accountability measures: “I’m glad to see Congress push back against this federal overreach. Now states and local communities can decide how best to educate their children.”
