With that in mind, seems that some patriotic group should level the playing field. -- Come forward with equal bucks and/or prizes geared to reading a list of patriotic books. 

1776 Unites group has one list,  Click Here  and maybe there are others. 

Maybe include reading the 45 page Report of the 1776 Commission issued in January 2021, before the new administration disbanded that group.  I saw some interesting topics there, in particular in Appendix II - Faith and America’s Principles.   Many examples in history of how American's faith leaders had very early led the efforts to abolish slavery.    Click Here  Also I noted that Ben Carson was associated with that Commission.
