The extended trailer for my new book, Teach Truth: The Struggle for Antiracist Education is live, and I’m excited to share it with you today! This book is a call to action to defend honest education about systemic racism and oppression–and to push back against the wave of what I call “truthcrime” laws aiming to suppress Black history, Indigenous struggles, and LGBTQ+ identity. You can Pre-order a signed copy of Teach Truth from Elliott Bay Books!

🎬 Watch the trailer now and join the struggle to protect the right to teach—and learn—the truth.

“The attack on antiracist education is at our front door, and there’s no clearer or more determined voice in this struggle than Jesse Hagopian’s… This is a book that propels us forward.”
—Bettina L. Love, author of Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children

Special thanks to the incredible collaborators who made this trailer possible:

• Edited by Jae Noir
• Soundtrack by Soulstice Baby

Teach Truth is full of interviews and stories of educators, students, cargivers, and parents who are in the struggle for educational justice. In the book I also develop the terms, “truthcrime” laws, “uncritical race theory,” and the “radical healing of organized remembering,” to define our problem and propose a solution. Please watch, share, and spread the word–pre orders of the book are especially important for helping the book gain visibility. Together, we can defend the right to teach and learn the truth.

Thank you for your solidarity with the struggle!

—Jesse Hagopian
