In the face of growing attacks on the teaching of history, The New Press is partnering with the Zinn Education Project to send books to teachers and teacher educators in Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.

 

These books are offered in solidarity with teachers who insist on their students’ right to study history and contemporary issues. The right wing seeks to indoctrinate students with a whitewashed narrative of history. Our goal is for young people to engage in intellectual inquiry, to pursue real questions about history, and to apply historical insights to contemporary issues.

 

The New Press donated 300 books for the Zinn Education Project to send to teachers and teacher educators.
