Texas Sen. Ted Cruz defended President Trump's decision to eliminate "propaganda" from public schools.
Cruz criticized 1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones, who said Trump's pledge to redirect funds away from public schools that teach the project was an example of "cancel culture." The Texas Republican fired back, calling it Marxist propaganda.
"Calling out lies is not silence. NYT explicitly admits the 1619 project is revisionist history: 'It aims to reframe our country’s history.'

"Why should the false revisionist history not be used as the basis of K-12 education across the nation? Not because of 'cancel culture,' which you support. But because it wrong & deliberately deceptive," Cruz continued, adding that academic work should aspire to accuracy and withstand scrutiny.
"So, no, I don’t want to 'cancel' the NYT. I want y’all to stop behaving like Marxist propagandists, stop peddling falsehoods to children, and behave instead like real journalists."

But because it wrong & deliberately deceptive. As your former board member put it, “history itself is one more...”
