The winter issue of Rethinking Schools features three articles about social justice in elementary schools. An early elementary teacher details an engineering unit in which students design a model community — with no police or banks — and everyone gets what they need. An equity coach describes how elementary teachers she worked with developed a project around the roots of hunger. A former 5th-grade paraprofessional reflects on how racism shaped a student-teacher interaction in a classroom that sought to foster trust, joy, and exploration.

This issue also contains a critique of how textbooks lie about Reconstruction from the Zinn Education Project’s Mimi Eisen. A high school English teacher describes how she encouraged students to disrupt and speak out against r**e culture. Both our editorial and a book review probe how war and militarism seep into our schools and what educators can do to confront the U.S. war machine.

And so much more!
