“‘Our interviews involved some disturbing stories of intimidation, as well as confusion about what was now acceptable to teach, and many calls for leadership to clearly protect the right to learn on these key issues in our society.’” — ASCD ([link removed])

“All of these letters from Black Americans to the people who once controlled their lives show a desire for freedom and a desperate longing to be reunited with their families.” — The Washington Post ([link removed])

“An AP U.S. History teacher must cover the ‘causes and effects of the victory of the [United States] and its allies over the Axis powers in World War II,’ but which leaders and battles to focus on and how to present these examples in class would be up to the teacher, the organization says.” — Education Week ([link removed])
