To be fair, there’s alternate history that was being taught in schools prior to this (I haven’t looked into the prageru program, so I’m not sure what they teach that’s alt history yet). But the 1619 project is a good example of alternate history that was/is being pushed and taught at schools.
Where is it being taught in school? I think Trump and DeSantis banning it being taught in school is just a publicity stunt claiming the woke left is rewriting history.
Alternative history is taught all the time everywhere. I was shocked when I worked in a school to hear the teacher telling kids about Columbus “discovering” America. When in reality he was put on a pedestal in response to anger against Italian immigrants. They needed a national hero to be treated better. You know, because they were not white.
…maybe there is a connection point of everything we don’t teach…
I am sure incorrect history is being taught in many places but I was talking about the 1619 project being taught in schools. It just seems like a manufactured political outrage.

I do agree with you about alternate history in general, and PregerU is straight conservative misinformation
