The Confederate Constitution, adopted #tdih 1861, protected slavery, stating “No law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.”
Yet people still claim the Civil War wasn’t about slavery.
Teach outside the textbook. #TeachTruth

I want to be a better teacher. — Chula Vista, California I would love to use the lessons for How the Word Is Passed. — Detroit, Michigan I am currently teaching a unit on Palestine and Israel, and I would love to learn from the educators here who have developed curriculum on this topic. — Chicago, Illinois To bridge the gap between traditional curricula and the complex, honest narratives that shape our world. Elementary students are capable of — and deserve — an education that moves beyond mythology to explore real history. — Arvin, California

Text on blue background: Laws across the country are making criminals out of educators who teach this history. #TeachTruth
Many legislatures & the president have tried to criminalize teaching honestly. They ban "divisive concepts," including that U.S. is "fundamentally or systematically racist."
Under those EO's & laws, can teachers invite students to read & analyze Dred Scott ruling by U.S. Supreme Court? #TeachTruth

Wonderful article by our colleague Greg Wickenkamp about rural educators who, despite censorship campaigns and laws, "take pains to present history in all its complexity, encouraging students to develop their own informed stances through critical thinking." ⬇️ #TeachTruth

Rest in power, Rev. Jackson
#BlackHistoryMonth #TeachTruth
So many lessons to learn from Rev. Jesse Jackson's words AND his years of on the ground organizing, in interracial coalitions, to challenge racism, sexism, anti-LGBTQ, poverty, unfair labor, militarism, mass incarceration, & more.

#PresidentsDay #TeachTruth
We need to remind students that this country has been at its best when people organized to question and challenge presidents — opposing presidential support for slavery, war, invasion, environmental destruction, segregation, mass deportations, and injustice of all kinds.

Sutton's 18th century demand for reparations is an example of the stories this administration aims to ban with McCarthy era/Lost Cause laws and attacks.
Why?
Because the words of Belinda Sutton can empower, inspire, and inform all students.

I am interested in the redlining lesson for 1st and 3rd graders during Black History Month. — Washington, D.C. Because I love this stuff and I want my teaching to be historically grounded, culturally relevant, and anti-racist. — Seattle, Washington I want to learn more about the real history of the United States, not what I was taught in high school in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the 1960s. — Rockaway Beach, Oregon

Book cover, No Easy Victories
Rosa Parks (wearing hat and glasses) with Freedom Yes, Apartheid No sign and two people walking behind her.
Hundreds of thousands of people in U.S. & around the world mobilized to oppose apartheid in the 1980s.
That successful movement built on decades of links between African liberation movements & activists in the U.S.
Rosa Parks in photo ⬇️ in D.C. & SNCC in next post. #TeachTruth
