A state university professor is denouncing an award-winning initiative named The 1619 Project, calling the project and its creator misleading, bigoted, and more. But the professor’s critique, and how he distributed it, has raised questions.
As soon as it showed up in Putnam Superintendent Daniel Sullivan’s inbox, a strongly worded email about what the district teaches got his attention.
“I realized that the concerns are actually much more deeply personal than they are curriculum based,” Sullivan said.
The email, sent to every public-school superintendent in Connecticut, came from Central Connecticut State University European History Professor Jay Bergman. In it, he cautions districts against using any part of something called The 1619 Project in their instruction, calling it “…entirely false, mostly false, or misleading.”

Kerry, who served as secretary of state during the Obama administration, reportedly advised Zarif of Israeli covert operations, something that host Sean Hannity noted top Republicans like Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Daniel Sullivan of Alaska summarily condemned. Remember the architect of this idiotic [Iran nuclear] deal has been trying to appease Iran for over a decade all while vilifying our top ally in the Middle East, Israel at every turn and as one article in The New York Post entitled John Kerry is skirting the line of treason with Iran , Hannity said.
