Teachers aren't having it. The pledge, authored and promoted by the Zinn Education Project, is incredibly blunt about what's happening: "Lawmakers in at least 15 states are attempting to pass legislation that would require teachers to lie to students about the role of racism, sexism, heterosexism, and oppression throughout U.S. history."
