📖More info on Teach Truth: The Struggle for Antiracist Education by Jesse Hagopian:
In Teach Truth, Hagopian argues that what’s at stake is the freedom to tell the truth, the ability of students to understand the world they live in, and the preservation of knowledge systems that expose injustice. By exploring the roots and reach of the censorship movement, Hagopian shows how these efforts to suppress truth serve to uphold racial capitalism and silence the histories that threaten entrenched power.
