"The paradox of education is precisely this — that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he [she/they] is being educated." -- James Baldwin in essential 1963 essay, "A Talk to Teachers" zinnedproject.org/materials/bald…
Here are more stories that have been omitted from or misrepresented in corporate textbooks. It is important that K-12 students have access to people’s history that exposes & questions roots of inequality & highlights efforts to create a more just society. zinnedproject.org/if-we-knew-our…
Growing number of teachers (although still FAR from norm) are committed to teach #peopleshistory and #teachoutsidetextbook. Indie journalism & truth telling in K-12 are vital and under constant attack from the right. Support/encourage/join truth tellers. zinnedproject.org/why/what-teach…
