Next is a section titled \u201cReproductive Rights,\u201d which says that Margaret Sanger, the eugenicist founder of abortion provider Planned Parenthood, was a nurse who \u201cdedicated herself to the women\u2019s rights struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit highlights topics like the persecution of Native Americans and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, with headers like \u201cSeparate &#038; Unequal,\u201d \u201cDenied the Right to Vote,\u201d \u201cWe the (Straight) People,\u201d and \u201cMurder on Christmas Day.\u201d It paints restrictions on immigration as racist, with signs saying, \u201cKlan women press for quotas\u201d and \u201cNo idiots, criminals, or paupers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-424836\" class=\"wp-image-424836 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/12-745x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"745\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/12-745x576-1.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/12-300x232-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/12-768x594-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/12.jpg 1419w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-424836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Daily Wire<\/p>\n<p>The gift shop sells the 1619 Project book \u2014 which, despite historians\u2019 overwhelming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/historians-shred-nyt-1619-project-claiming-slavery-defines-america\">rejection<\/a> of its premise, claims that colonists fought for independence from Britain to preserve slavery \u2014 in not just one, but multiple locations.
