These teachers are often
the only chance students have to learn a different story
----one that looks honestly at this country's long history of exploitation, but one that also features the social movements that have made it more just and equal.
As Oregon teacher Chris Buehler wrote:
The Zinn Education Project is my compass in a sea of corporate textbooks, packaged common core curriculum, and standardized testing.
Soon we will post new lessons on the Standing Rock struggle in North Dakota and the U.S. Reconstruction era. These are classroom-tested resources to help teachers address the state of the world with their students.
We need your help to continue and expand our work in 2017.
Sincerely,
