Why is Teaching for Social Justice Important?
Following on the US Social
Forum in Detroit in June, the national upswing in education organizing,
the victory in Milwaukee against Mayoral takeover of their public
schools, and the recent tremendous victory by CORE for Chicago Teachers
Union leadership, we recognize the need more than ever to build the
momentum of the Education for Liberation movement.
For 10
formative years of the Curriculum Fair, we have come together based on
our commitment to education for social justice. Along with educators
countrywide, we are working toward classrooms and schools that are
anti-racist, multicultural / multilingual, and grounded in the
experiences of our students. We believe Another Education is Possible
and understand that we must take on discussions of school policy in
order to create more just and humane schools, but we're also connected
to a national & international network of educator activists and
recognize together more and more that Another World is Necessary.
