LOU DOBBS (HOST): This virtue signaling has become a projection of manifest ignorance. It's not just simply California that is a state that is historically ignorant. It's, unfortunately, the truth in too many of our states. And it's also a result of the 1619 Project. Thank goodness that there are groups like the Woodson organization that, the Woodson Center, that is pushing the 1776 united, a patriotic curriculum. The president doing so as well. Let me ask you--
