Athletes are collaborating to support teachers who have pledged to teach truthfully about U.S. history in the face of initiatives around the country that would prohibit educators from teaching forthrightly about our country’s history of racial inequality and how this has shaped our society today.
It is hard to be teacher in today’s schools. More than 50 percent of children attending U.S. public schools come from low-income families, which means that teachers are often left to help serve as a safety net for these kids in drastically underfunded school districts. Consequently, some 94 percent of U.S. public school teachers spend their own money on school supplies.
