Former President Trump’s short-lived effort to rewrite American history for the country’s schools, which came to life in the form of a 1776 Commission report, was knocked down Wednesday, just minutes after President Biden’s oath. The commission’s report, which appeared on the White House website on the day of Martin Luther King Jr., consisted of 45 pages with false and unhistorical statements, including that “the Civil Rights Movement was almost immediately resorting to programs that went against the high ideals of the founders. ”Trump founded the commission in response to O New York Times’ 1619 Project that considered slavery as the founding principle of the United States
The entire White House website, as it existed under former President Trump, is now part of the Presidential Archives of the National Archives, along with Trump and other official websites of his predecessors. The new whitehouse.gov has sections on COVID-19, details about the members of the new administration and their priorities, and much more.
