Bills in several states would cut funding to schools that teach the 1619 Project. But they mostly aren t going anywhere CNN 2/11/2021 By Harmeet Kaur, CNN © Andrew DeMillo/AP Arkansas state Rep. Mark Lowery speaks to members of the Legislative Black Caucus about his bill threatening funding cuts to schools teaching the 1619 Project. The bill failed in committee on Tuesday. The New York Times Magazine s 1619 Project has been a flashpoint in the nation s culture wars since its publication. The Pulitzer Prize-winning effort, which has been largely acclaimed by scholars, historians and educators, challenges readers to think about the beginning of slavery on American shores as foundational to the nation s origin story. That notion has made it a frequent target of Republicans, many of whom have criticized the initiative as emphasizing racial divisions and sought to counter it with accounts they say will instill patriotism in students.
