Mr. Trump’s memo on Friday adopted much of this language, attributing it to “press reports.” The memo, signed by Russell T. Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, said “this divisive, false, and demeaning propaganda of the critical race theory movement is contrary to all we stand for as Americans and should have no place in the Federal government.”

Mr. Trump wrote or reposted roughly 20 Twitter messages about the memo on Saturday and on Sunday said the Education Department would investigate schools that use curriculum from the 1619 Project by The New York Times Magazine, an effort to look at American history through the frame of slavery’s consequences and the contributions of Black Americans.

The 1619 Project: "an effort to look at American history through the frame of slavery’s consequences and the contributions of Black Americans."

Now, there's some real self-serving propaganda from the New York Times.

The 1619 Project is a false rewrite of American history, including the role in history of President Abraham Lincoln.
