Dear H-PAD,
Please consider signing and circulating this open letter in support of Penn State faculty who are being targeted by the Right — in the form of a lawsuit and public defamation — for their antiracist pedagogy. You can read the letter and access links to relevant background here: https://forms.gle/o4un9e32XDec9Ypc7.
As you know, these attacks are proliferating around the country, emboldened by recent Orwellian court rulings and state censorship laws. At Historians for Peace and Democracy we've compiled a database with extensive info about the attacks and about some of the ways that faculty, students, and others are resisting: https://historiansforpeace.org/culture-wars-against-education/. If you'd like to be involved in this struggle, please let us know!
The H-PAD steering committee
