We Stand With the People's History
House Bill 1834 in Arkansas is an attack on free speech and education in its attempt to squash HowardZinn's book, A People's History of the United States. The Hidden History Center stands behind Zinn's bookand for alternative points of view.
[B]LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - March 7, 2017 - PRLog -- House Bill 1834, brought forward by RepresentativeKim Hendren, aims to ban the teaching of historian Howard Zinn's work in Arkansas public schools. Zinn'sbook, A People's History of the United States, while not without flaws, is an excellent introduction toalternative history and provides a needed relief from the often stilted and establishment-oriented teaching inpublic schools. If one cannot teach schoolchildren an honest account of American history, which includes adescription of the Native genocide that makes their lives possible, then schools are in the business of lying. We must not let this happen.[/B]
[B]An educated republic requires exposure to as many points of views as possible. Indeed, a large part of theproblem we face today are a result of an inability to understand the views of human beings of another race,another tribe, or another belief system. It is not necessary to view everything in "liberal" or "conservative"terms. The Hidden History Center remains committed to preserving alternative and minority points of viewin all aspects of education. Let us look on the facts flat on and proceed from there.[/B]
