Adam Serwer Z0MG CONSERVATIVES WANT TO CANCEL THE HOLY 1619 PROJEKTZEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serwer is an idiot, of course.

   Conservatives don't want to "cancel" that bullshit--or, rather: some might. Most don't. 

   What they want is for the indoctrination to end--especially the indoctrination of kids. If you want to discuss the 1619 bullshit, that's fine: so long as you discuss it along with different views, and you discuss it objectively. Not as if it were fact. Not as the only view in town. Not as if it were the most important theory with others nipping at its heels. Not even as first among equals. 

   What this means is: do you want to adopt a unit on American history in...whatever it is you're doing? Well, ok. If you have someone competent and objective to teach American history...sure. Why you'd want your plumbing business or the CIA or your math class or the city council meeting to include a 3-semester-hour course on American history I do not know... But if you have a historian on hand who can do the job, well, knock yourself out...

   Just dont't fucking do a special indoctrination session on this one, shitty, ridiculous, sub-par, leftist theory of American history. 

   In fact, actually, I'd suggest sticking to, y'know, actual history in your history course. Written by actual, trained, competent historians. I'd suggest not including history written by shitty journalists. Or even competent journalists...if such exist anymore. Just like I'd suggest avoiding physics written by journalists. Or philosophy written by journalists. Or Chemistry or econ or anthropology written by journalists. Journalism written by mathematicians would probably be pretty good. Mathematics done by journalists...shudder... Hell...contemporary journalists can't even do journalism correctly, in case that fact has somehow escaped you.

   In fact, how about this: no indoctrination at all. 

   How's about that?

   Remember when we all used to be against indoctrination? Even the lefties? 

   Good times.
