So many historians have spoken up about errors in the New York Times’ Pulitzer prize-winning 1619 Project that Sen. Tom Cotton floated the idea of pulling funds from schools that have integrated (or simply replaced) their history curriculum with the 1619 Project magazine. Even its award-winning architect, Nikole Hannah-Jones, has said that it’s “not a history” but rather a “challenge to the national narrative.”
It’s not going away anytime soon — President Trump’s alternative 1776 Project is dead — and now the Pulitzer Center is looking for someone to manage its brand new 1619 Project Educational Network.
JOB OPENING: This leadership role would manage a number of Pulitzer Center education programs, including the brand new 1619 Project Education Network. The ideal candidate has experience working with education professionals. Learn more and apply here: https://t.co/kOd75Gbiah pic.twitter.com/PTjfdXWQRx

It’s disheartening that orgs like this have so little integrity, so little commitment to truth. It’s all just radical activism now.

Disheartening that someone funds it.

Thanks for letting us know that the Pulitzer Prize is now effectively worthless.

The 1619 project is ahistorical even according to its own definition

A project that is as accurate as the "Bridgerton" series ?

Seems all positions have been filled in the pandering department. Congrats.

Don’t become another activist “also-ran” institution. Take the high road.

Is the job a "Fact Checker"?
If so, I hope you're offering combat pay

The 1619 Project failed peer review on multiple substantial fronts.
Yet you double down on it? This is a perfect example of valuing ideology over truth-seeking. What does a Pulitzer even mean anymore?

You have turned this into a joke

Interesting. How much general indoctrination experience is required?
— GlenPronghorn (@GlenPronghorn) February 4, 2021
Wait a minute- the 1619 project was found to be riddled with inaccuracies and the author now says it isn’t meant to be a telling of history. Why in God’s name is it anywhere NEAR a program geared towards education??
— Teach (@always4life1016) February 6, 2021
No one involved with the 1619 project is not professional and has no business being near education.
Teaching is not for activists.

All the more reason parents should send their kids to private schools when deranged rich people like you think you can spread your fake psycho science to children.
— Wink-n-Smile (@crazymamaa) February 7, 2021
I don't acknowledge this propaganda that your pushing. My kids won't either.

Congratulations to all the kids in school districts that haven’t integrated the 1619 Project into the curriculum.
