Dear fellow conservative, 

It’s no secret that the far left has been indoctrinating students for decades. They’ve used tax-payer funded classrooms to feed a radical anti-American ideology to an entire generation of students. 

Our nation’s children have received a biased “education” for an entire generation – from high school through college -  so it should come as no surprise to us that we see thousands of young adults rioting in the streets, burning our nation’s cities, and toppling historic monuments. 

There are dire consequences to allowing a liberal viewpoint to be forced on the next generation, and we’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg right now. 

If you believe that America’s students need to learn about true American history, about how great this country is, and how our Founders fought to give us the freedoms we enjoy — I urge you to sign the National Petition in Support of True American History.

The left is doubling down by pushing to make The New York Times’ radical “1619 Project” a component of history curriculum at all levels of education in American schools. 

As you may have heard, “The 1619 Project” is a leftist attempt to reframe American history around the institution of slavery – to set the founding of our nation in 1619, and not 1776.

The widely debunked claims in this biased “curriculum” include the argument that the Founders’ real reason for fighting for independence from Great Britain was to preserve slaveholding, and that American capitalism was developed from and modeled on plantation slavery. 

It’s a poisonous narrative, and one rooted in pure left-wing fantasy.

President Trump is leading the charge in Washington against this curriculum, doing what he can to strip funding from schools who wish to teach The 1619 Project in our nation’s classrooms.

But it’s going to take a nationwide grassroots effort to stamp out this non-historical narrative from our public schools once and for all.

To fight back against this anti-American curriculum, to support the president’s efforts to combat this agenda-driven curriculum, and to ensure that students learn the same history you and I learned in the classroom, please sign this national petition today.

Here at the Pepperdine University School of Public Policy, we’re fighting back against the leftist indoctrination of students by educating future conservative public policy makers about the Constitution and what makes America great. 

We are one of the few graduate schools in the country that prepare young leaders from a decidedly conservative, Christian worldview to enter the sphere of public policy, where they will impact millions of lives for a generation to come.

Many conservative colleges prepare undergraduates to enter a range of careers. And many graduate schools churn out thousands of liberal minds every year. But the Pepperdine School of Public Policy is one of the very few with over 1,000 alumni - conservative leaders who will shaping policy in their communities, our nation, and our world.

But our mission doesn’t end at the edge of our campus. It extends across all of America -- which is where this important petition comes into play. America’s future depends on the citizen leaders we prepare along with educated citizens who understand our nation’s unique importance.

To help us fight back against the leftist indoctrination of students, please stand with us in favor of true American history. History doesn’t ignore America’s mistakes, but it recognizes our nation’s history as a progression toward our timeless and fundamentally good founding principles. 

Please join us in standing up against the radical 1619 Project by signing this national petition today.

Thank you, and God bless you.

For America,
