  • The Trump administration's 1776 Commission has slammed what it calls 're-education attempts' that re-frame the United States as 'an evil country'

  • The commission released a scathing 45-page report on Monday - MLK Day

  • President Donald Trump created the commission last September to promote 'patriotic education' amid nationwide racial injustice protests

  • Released hours before Trump leaves office, the report says that 'deliberately destructive scholarship shatters the civic bonds that unite all Americans'

  • It also calls on schools to 'reject any curriculum that promotes one-sided partisan opinions, activist propaganda, or factional ideologies'

  • The report vehemently denies the charge the Founding Fathers were hypocrites for preaching equality while keeping slaves themselves

  • It also compares ideological division in the US today to those in the Civil War

  • The report argues that identity politics are 'the opposite of [Martin Luther] King's hope that his children would "live in a nation where they will not be judged"
