Former education secretary Bill Bennett launches program to counter 'politicized' content in schools
Fox News
Former Education Secretary William Bennett is launching a series of interactive stories that will combine literacy and historical education in an attempt to counter content like the "1619 Project."
Dubbed "The Story of America," the new project is the result of a combined effort between Bennett, businessman and philanthropist Richard Collins, and Kathleen Leos, who served as assistant deputy secretary & director of the office of english language acquisition in the U.S. Department of Education.
Monday's announcement came amid testy school board meetings where parents criticize purportedly left-leaning influences on their children's education.
