Why We Must Teach the Truth

At just 6, Ruby Bridges faced hate, spit, and violence for wanting an education. Now, some want to erase this history out of shame. Whitewashing the past dishonors victims and protects oppressors. Learn, reflect, and do better.

After several attempts to block their posts from appearing on my feed, for entertainment, I've started trolling the BP Energising Futures account on FaceBook. Much as we need #ClimateInEducation, #BigOil sponsored resources have no place in the classroom.
It is time to #TeachTheTruth

I learned more about Black history from TikTok than I ever did in school. We had a whole chapter on the Oregon Trail, but nothing on redlining? That’s not an accident. That’s a curriculum built to erase. #TeachTheTruth #DecolonizeEducation #Oregonizers #InclusiveCurriculum #WeDeserveToKnow

When ‘patriotism’ becomes the filter for history lessons, uncomfortable truths disappear. Slavery, systemic racism, inequality, all pushed aside in favor of a rosy narrative. That’s not unity, that’s control. Etsy shop in bio for resources that bring the full story. #Education #TeachTheTruth

I'll be posting weekly videos on untold, lost, and forgotten U.S. histories—Indigenous, African/African American, immigrant, worker, LGBTQ+ voices. A response to efforts to erase/rewrite history. Follow, share, suggest topics. Sources included.

Educators, unite! In this dark-ass time, we’ve got to stick together, fierce and fearless, to teach our students the raw truth and history’s lessons—Trump’s chaos won’t silence us. #EducatorsUnite #TeachTheTruth #HistoryMatters #SaveOurStudents #FightForEducation

This is my shocked face…not #blacksky #history #teachthetruth
More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

🇺🇸 On this 4th of July, let’s remember that freedom must include truth.

After 18 months, delays & 40+ testimonies, Texas school districts can once again offer Native American Studies as an elective.

Have you watched Yellowstone yet? I haven’t , but based on this scene alone, I’m about to begin.

They don’t know about the struggles, because they don’t know their history. What history that is taught in the schools has been whitewashed. I didn’t learn about the ‘Trail of Tears’ until I was in my 30s. I went to school in Tennessee. The name Tennessee is of Native American origin

Most people never learn this part of Thanksgiving history…
Many of the foods we eat during this holiday were shaped by Black people whose farming skills, recipes, and culinary traditions deeply influenced early American cooking.

Cleaning out my basement, going through old lesson plans. Lots of emotions - but not disappointed that I started every year with Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of The United States. #teachthetruth

Museums exist to educate, not to coddle. The Smithsonian owes the public the truth — not a sanitized version of it. Trump was impeached. Twice. Say it. Show it. Stand by it.

Let’s just CUT through the noise!

THIS is a declaration of war against historical amnesia. It’s a refusal to let the truth be buried, a challenge to the narratives that perpetuate injustice.
