‘A mind of their own’: Left-wing believes 1619 is America’s ‘real’ anniversary

Sky News host Danica De Giorgio has questioned what American children are being taught in classrooms as some on the left believe 1619 is America’s “real” anniversary. “Some on the left, in particular, they don’t believe that July 4 is the real anniversary over in the US, they prefer 1619 – the year that the first slaves arrived,” Ms De Giorgio said. “I just wonder how that’s translating into the next generation. The left will have a mind of their own and they decide what they want to, but what, say for instance, are kids being taught in the classrooms about America’s history? Is there that threat of modern, ideological indoctrination?”
