President Donald Trump has called upon 18 conservative leaders to serve on a new commission focused on teaching the next generation the truth about America’s Founding Fathers and the principles contained in the Constitution.
At the White House Friday, Trump named the members of the President’s Advisory 1776 Commission, which was first announced Nov. 2.
The commission will “better enable a rising generation to understand the history and principles of the founding of the United States in 1776 and to strive to form a more perfect Union,” the president’s executive order establishing the commission reads.
Trump named Mike Gonzalez, a Heritage Foundation senior fellow and author of “The Plot to Change America,” to serve as one of the commission’s members.
