Here we go with Stephen Miller's plans to rebuild Hitler Youth. The Education Department says it's partnering with conservative organizations to present "educational programming about patriotism, liberty" and what it described as "American values," as part of America’s 250th anniversary next year. (Ben Franklin is rolling in his grave.) Via the Bezos Post:

The initiative is led by the America First Policy Institute, a right-leaning group founded by senior veterans of President Donald Trump’s first-term administration. It convened 40 other conservative organizations on Wednesday, including Turning Point USA, Hillsdale College, the Heritage Foundation and Moms for Liberty, to begin planning. Christian evangelical groups, such as the Faith and Freedom Coalition, are also participating.

Called the America 250 Civics Education Coalition, the initiative was billed by the Education Department as an effort to renew patriotism and advance “a shared understanding of America’s founding principles in schools across the nation.”

The department provided few details about what the programming would entail and how it would reach students or schools. The coalition appears to mark another step in the Trump administration’s effort to push a rosy narrative about American history and to use education about civics, a traditionally nonpartisan topic, as a vehicle for that mission.

“We are proud to announce this coalition to ensure every young American understands the beauty of our nation and is equipped with the civic knowledge required to contribute meaningfully to its future,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon, a former chair of the board at the America First Policy Institute, said in a statement.

This is something Democrats should have seized on years ago. (I should know -- I've been trying to sell them on it for 15 years or so.) But never underestimate the Democrats' natural revulsion toward anything that hasn't already been done.

In the meantime: So what happens to teachers who contradict what this group is presenting?
