'Diversify Our Narrative' Petition for Chicago Public Schools

Zinn Education Project - Teaching People's History

#DiversifyOurNarrative

Petition For Chicago Public Schools

Dear Friends,

The Zinn Education Project was contacted this week about a petition to diversify the Chicago Public Schools curriculum. They asked us to share this petition with teachers who might have CPS-connected colleagues and students in the region, and we are happy to oblige. The petition is part of a national effort, called Diversify Our Narrative, to mandate BIPOC perspectives in school curricula. We support this effort.

Diversify Our Narrative is a student-led initiative that is demanding Chicago Public Schools expand the curriculum to include diverse and anti-racist texts.

We as students are no longer accepting the white washed history nor the white washed narratives.

We are asking that our curriculum include books by and about Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).

We are asking you to sign and share this petition so we can achieve our goal of 3,000 signatures. Any current, former or future student, teacher, educator, and parent associated with Chicago Public Schools is eligible to sign.

We believe that with all that it’s going on students should be informed and feel represented.

Sign this petition to demand that our schools #DiversifyOurNarrative with anti-racist texts in the classroom - it only takes a minute!
