Ken Burns: Fla. Education Bill ‘Feels Like a Soviet System,’ Tucker Is Doing the Same Thing with 1/6 Footage

‘It’s just a kind of rewriting of history at the most dangerous level’

EXCERPT:

BURNS: "You know, what makes America great is not the suppression of ideas or the pursuit of every corner of those ideas may lead us or the facts. It’s about who we are and how we investigate who we are and celebrate the diversity of who we are. All of these bills that DeSantis and others are doing limit our ability to understand who we are and are not inclusive, they are exclusive. They are narrowing the focus of what is and isn’t American history. It’s terrifying. It feels like a Soviet system or, you know, the way the Nazis would build a Potemkin village. Tucker Carlson is doing the same thing with the footage from 1/6. It’s just a kind of rewriting of history at the most dangerous level. It’s huge threat to our republic.”
