From Milwaukee -- Movement photographer @JosephBrusky
"we displayed a gallery of designs from past art builds around teacher strikes & campaigns over the last 5 yrs at #NEARA. Teachers have been leading the way for workers holding the line for public schools, funding for public ed, #teachtruth, & respect in the workplace."

So Saturday is #TeachTruth day of action. Cool. First, what is #Truth?

#IMO, "truth" does not exist. We don't "know" truth. What we call "truth" is whatever lie we choose to believe.

How do you find "truth?" You're told something, if you want to believe it, that's the "truth." Don't believe it, it's a "lie."

And the source of that "truth" may have an agenda that may or may not match yours. Not that it matters, really. In this regard, there's no diff between Resistance ™ & MAGA

#History Is a #HumanRight
From Stone Mountain to the Stonewall Inn, the #TeachTruth National Day of Action fights back against #antihistory legislation
https://wordinblack.com/2023/05/history-is-a-human-right/

this is a national call
please boost

For the past two summers, teachers rallied across the country at historic sites to speak out against anti-history education bills and to make public their pledge to teach the truth

Once again, we invite educators, students, parents, and community members to rally across the country and pledge to Teach Truth and defend LGBTQ+ rights on June 10, 2023

#tdih 1971: Daniel Ellsberg and Tony Russo Jr. were indicted for releasing Pentagon Papers to news media.

Papers documented the HISTORY of U.S. in Vietnam since 1945.

In other words, their “crime” was to reveal history. Sound familiar? #TeachTruth ⬇️

@BlackAzizAnansi 💯 #TeachTruth
I joined Twitter in 2017 to push back because I became increasingly outraged by #farrightextremism from the 2015 mass murder of the Emanuel 9 & the Breitbart response of posting a pro-Confederate flag article to the Richard Spencer “Heilgate” incident celebrating Trump in Dec 2016. I believe exposing Far Right networks & influencers & their funding is key to pushing back. I hope SPLC & other groups set up Mastodon accounts.

Tune in TONIGHT @ 730PM ET on IG [Handle: RadPedagogyInst] for #RadPedagogyLive!

Special Guests from Self Evident Education will discuss: What Multimedia Curr. Materials Exist to Authentically Teach about the #HistoryofRace & #RacismInAmerica?
