Viewers are asked to sign a pledge from the American Principles Project “to reject the revisionist
The “1619 Project” has been adopted in over 1,000 schools across the country, including in Washington, D.C., according to the executive director of the American Principles Project Terry Schilling.
The American Principles Project wanted to “take the ‘1619 Project’ to its logical conclusion,” which is that “the American founding was not a good thing, and that it was a hypocritical lie at the outside,” Schilling told the Daily Caller. “If that’s what you actually believe, then should we celebrate the Fourth of July?”
The goal of the advertisement was to get politicians to answer the question of whether or not the U.S. should celebrate Independence Day, because many have supported the “1619 Project,” he added.
