College faculty member Nikole Hannah-Jones says she's not an educator-- but she might be a clown

Circus Clown Chic 

The founder of the 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, is a Marxist and admits that she isn't a "professional educator" in spite of the fact that she is a tenured faculty member at Howard University in Washington, D.C. 

Hannah-Jones (HJ) was speaking Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," where she spoke about the 1619 Project, the influence critical race theory (CRT) played in the Virginia governor's race, and how parents should mind their own business when it came to their children's education at school.

HJ claimed the Virginia election was "decided based on the success of a right-wing propaganda campaign," the clown impersonator then admitted that she's not a "professional educator," the first honest thing she said. If anything, her grasp of history is a hateful fiction with false assertions and gross omissions. 

"And I don't really understand this idea that parents should decide what's being taught. I'm not a professional educator. I don't have a degree in social studies or science. We send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have an expertise in the subject area. And that is not my job," HJ said, failing to see the irony in her words.

"When the, when the governor or the candidate said that he didn't think parents should be deciding what's being taught in school, he was panned for that. But that's just the fact. [How can it be fact if the governor was giving an opinion?] This is why we send our children to school and don't homeschool, because these are the professional educators who have the expertise to teach social studies, to teach history, to teach science, to teach literature. And I think we should leave that to the educators," HJ continued, still failing to see the irony she spewed. 

HJ acts as if being homeschooled is a bad thing because teachers wouldn't have influence over how the child thinks; the parents would. There are many famous people who were homeschooled. Albert Einstein is the first who comes to mind among the many others.

In July, Howard University announced HJ would be joining the Cathy Hughes School of Communications as a tenured member of the faculty, for some reason. She "will also found the Center for Journalism and Democracy, which will focus on training and supporting aspiring journalists in acquiring the investigative skills and historical and analytical expertise needed to cover the crisis our democracy is facing," according to the Howard University announcement.

And here you thought journalism was dead. Just kidding, journalism as it was originally intended is dead.

Hannah-Jones told Fox News that "professional K-12 educators, not parents, are the experts in what to teach including those educating my own child." But since she, by her own admission, is not a professional educator, how can she know that? Did she make that "fact" up the same way she made up "facts" in her 1619 Project? 

You make the call.
