Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!
Amy Goodman

Public Education Series: Teaching History

We’ve been bringing you a special series on public education called “Carefully Taught: Clashing Values in the Classroom.” One of the most critical battlegrounds in the culture wars is over the teaching of history. While Progressive educators have tried to introduce a diversity of perspectives into history lessons, conservative critics have been attacking these new curricula as “politically correct.”

Barbara Bernstein reports.

TAPE: Tomorrow on “Carefully Taught”, producer Barbara Bernstein will examine the underlying conflict of values that charges the debate over various teaching methods and philosophies. This series will air as at two hour documentary on Alternative Radio later this fall.
