Their solution is to remake the U.S., abandoning our founding documents and the capitalist system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 1776 Project PAC is pushing back against this growing crisis in our public education system by campaigning on behalf of school board candidates that vow to overturn any teaching of the 1619 Project or critical race theory in their school districts.
