Generations of Americans have grown up knowing very little about actual American history.
In my interview with Anni Cyrus at Rise Up to Freedom, I discussed my new book, "Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers' Fight Against The Left" and why so few Americans know about the history revealed in it.
The answer is that a national centralized educational system rewrote the teaching of American history following a Marxist template of oppressor/oppressed, class and racial warfare, to the extent that authentic history including key moments that defined America were erased.
In the process, not coincidentally, the origins of the Left that I reveal also disappeared from history.
I call "Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers' Fight Against The Left" a 1619 Project for the Left because it exposes their own history, their radicalism and their destructiveness.
The Left likes to claim that its agendas are constitutional, the truth is that it nearly stopped the Constitution cold, as I describe in Chapter 2.
The Left likes to claim that it's as American as Apple Pie, in reality its existence is the product of foreign enemy agents, beginning with the French Revolution.
Why don't we know it? Because American history isn't taught in schools anymore. Only Marxist history is.
