Former education secretary Bill Bennett launches program to counter ‘politicized’ content in schools

The series of interactive stories will combine literacy and historical education in an attempt to counter content like the "1619 Project."

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.”

With a public campaign announced Monday, the new initiative purportedly meets U.S. history standards and aims to reverse declining academic achievement among American students. Dan Kuenster, an Emmy-award winning artist and a former Disney Animation Studios executive, is producing the online platform, which utilizes a curriculum based on Bennett’s best-selling history series, “America: The Last Best Hope.”

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.
