Dear Comrades -- I have recently become acquainted with the ZINN EDUCATION PROJECT --- together with Black Lives Matter and a number of other organizations they are sponsoring in person actions tomorrow (Saturday) in opposition to the chorus of attacks on "critical race theory," the 1619 Project and (in at least one state) an explicit attack on the ZEP --
At this website: https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/day-of-action-june-12/ *one can see a list of the various state laws that are either being proposed or already enacted (including one in Missouri explicitly targeting the ZEP) as well as a list of actions planned for tomorrow.* *Some folks might want to be in touch with the ZEP folks. They have been working in the tradition of Howard Zinn's masterful A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES --- They provide resources, workshops, etc. directly to teachers to help them teach the truth about American history not the "whitewashed" (double entendre intended!) version we get in textbooks (most textbooks!!).* *And they are helping coordinate the actions tomorrow as well as reporting on them in the following days and weeks.* *Solidarity, Mike* -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
