Award-winning Illinois high school teacher Corey Winchester disagreed with Trump. He said that the Zinn Education Project curriculum does not leave his students paralyzed with shame: “It is empowering to learn from multiple perspectives and invigorates their desire to learn and disrupt the status quo.”
Winchester is right. Teaching people’s history empowers and invigorates students to better understand the perspectives of workers, women, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, whose voices are too often erased in corporate-produced textbooks.
We need your help so that we can continue to offer free people's history resources to teachers and to defend people's history teachers from right-wing attacks.
Our primary support comes from individuals like you. Please
donate. Even better, become a sustaining donor.
