Why schools adopted the 1619 Project as a curriculum when it was full of historical errors

One critic of the project described it as ‘history told through the lens of critical race theory, substitute[ing] objectivity with narrative storytelling”. Presented through the liberal bias of the New York Times.
The 1619 Project’s theories of American history were later developed into a curriculum with the help of the Pulitzer Center.
According to Rindsberg, the 1619 Project is part of a larger picture of reckless disregard for the truth at the legacy paper that has become part of their newsroom.
“I think the key message to understand is that [The 1619 Project] is not history … it really is about present-day ideology and power,” he continued.
On The Times’ strategy, Rindsberg said the so-called paper of record is empowered by falsehood.
“When you say I’m just going to let go of the truth, you’re no longer constrained by it. It’s actually quite brilliant, a bit perverse, but it’s brilliant,” Rinsberg said.
