See BS Broadcasting the Hitler Youth Indoctrination Training

Saw on the guide that See BS was broadcasting something called "The Presidential 1776 Award" show tonight.

Guess I've been under a rock, but I had never heard of it. Didn't watch, but Oh Boy!

Found this info on it.

The Presidential 1776 Award—a national civics competition and scholarship program for high school students—is closely tied to right-wing political philosophy. It was re-established by the Trump administration to promote "patriotic education", positioning itself as a conservative counterweight to the New York Times' "1619 Project" and similar critical analyses of American history. The underlying curriculum and historical framing were heavily shaped by right-wing organizations and political figures. Critics and historians argue that this educational framework presents a "whitewashed" and one-sided nationalist narrative, specifically minimizing the role of slavery and defending the founding fathers against historical critiques.

Such a sad downfall for a once respected news organization. And it was completely intentional.
