Why is White House attacking ZEP? Because they are scared of all the teachers across U.S. who are teaching people's history, outside the textbook. Like lessons for gr 7+ below on long history of voter suppression and the ongoing fight for voting rights. zinnedproject.org/materials/teac…
A speaker at White House today said Zinn Ed Project lessons are "snuck under the door of unsuspecting teachers." #McCarthy like accusations.
Below are stories from teachers using free people's history lessons from ZEP and writing their own, voluntarily! zinnedproject.org/why/what-teach…
Truth telling always a threat. Mrs. Harriette Moore "taught us primarily from few boxes of her own private books, hidden under her desk. We knew they were dangerous when she appointed one of us to be a look-out person at the window." Home bombed by KKK. zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/moor…
What scares admin. is next generation learning people's history & critical thinking skills. Both are applied in lesson ⬇️by @dcpublicschools mid. school tchr. Students hold a tribunal to determine who is responsible for death & devastation of coronavirus. zinnedproject.org/materials/coro…

If we upset White House & engaged so many teachers with our small budget, imagine what we'd do with full funding. We rely on individual donors, like you. Donate so we can add more people's history lessons for free access and reach more students & teachers. zinnedproject.org/donate/
