From the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida that prohibits any discussion of LGBTQ+ sexuality or gender in the classroom and empowers parents to sue for violations^[1] to bans on “Critical Race Theory” in places like Orange County California^[2], the teaching of American history in public schools is under attack nationwide.

These bills are driven by right-wing forces looking to score cheap political points at the expense of children, but they have succeeded in riling up parents to pressure school boards and politicians to take action. It’s a classic example of the squeaky wheel getting the grease.

It’s time for all of us who believe in teaching the true and complete history of America to stand up.

Sign the petition:
For the sake of all our children, schools must teach American history,
not just straight white history!
