So, for any of my North Central Florida peeps, my coalition is holding an event for the #TeachTruth Day of Action June 10th at 11am at the Rosewood Historical Marker on Route 24 in Cedar Key. Come out and hear Ms Lizzie Jenkins speak about her family's history in Rosewood and her new children's book, as well as readings by other community members. https://forms.gle/5PezFgpyGHnudtDa6

In Florida, the attacks on truth promote an education agenda driven by white supremacist ideals.

So, June 10th, I pledge to #TeachTruth and advocate for the #FreedomToLearn here in the North Central FL area. We are holding an event at the Rosewood Historical Marker at 11am on the 10th. We will have a wonderful speaker, the niece of a survivor of the Rosewood Massacre, and book readings. Come out, bring a friend, learn about Florida history, and advocate for teaching the truth to all. Register here: https://forms.gle/K5tMPu1WaLno6eh79

Looking for a meaningful way to show up and speak out? On June 10th, join the @ZinnEdProject for a Day of Action. Yes, this will require some real work, but that’s what this moment needs, that’s what activism is about. If not now, then when? #TeachTruth

Things are finally starting to move in my quest to hold a local #TeachTruth day event. Going with the Rosewood Massacre, which I know almost nothing about personally because nobody fucking teaches about it even though it happened less than two hours away from where I grew up. Anyway, this will be a learning experience for all involved I hope!

“In a summary of its findings submitted to the state last month, the group complained that a McGraw Hill 5th grade textbook…mentioned slavery 189 times…[and] an 8th grade book gave outsize attention to the “negative side” of the treatment of Native Americans, while failing to give a fuller account of their own acts of violence…in which warriors killed more than 300 English colonists.”

Colonialists: White people killing natives to seize land

Florida is slowly re-imagining history.

Here's one of history teaching methods lessons: "Mapping Inequality: Exploring Personal History in Redline Maps and the 1940 Census" Here’s how my students used the 1940 Census to make a personal connection with historical redlining maps #TeachTruth #histodon #histodons #redlining #history https://peterpappas.com/2020/11/mapping-inequality-exploring-personal-history-in-redline-maps-and-the-1940-census.html

@gwaldby @arstechnica Oh for cryin' out loud, so now they're actually trying to mandate ignorance? It's never been more clear that the republicans know they'll never win another election anywhere if they don't keep the voters ignorant and uninformed.

Your state is a dictatorship with rules borrowed from the Taliban and the mullahs of Iran. Why are you allowing this to happen without protest?

The women of Iran and their Supporters should be the thought leaders to follow.
My god, sacrifice something for the children's sake if the loss of your freedom is not compelling enough.

#Georgia’s classroom censorship law erases the experiences of historically marginalized students who are more likely to encounter racial & systemic oppression daily.

»During Reconstruction, more than 1,500 African Americans took office, many hailing from Southern districts with majority-Black populations who voted for the very first time.… Today, the right wing uses similar tactics to crush the democratic process, from imposing voter suppression laws to “guarding” ballot drop boxes.… #teachtruth #teachreconstruction«
