| Abstract | In this article, the author relates his experience of being attacked for teaching American history at a rural school in north Alabama using a critical, more inclusive approach to American history and social studies. He describes how he struggled with the notion of perspective in teaching primary documents, particularly papers written by those not in power at the time. With the intention of providing students with differing sides to the nation's history, the author had chosen the works of historian Howard Zinn, particularly "Voices of A People's History of the United States," because Zinn represented a radical, revisionist (even Marxist) version of American history. Because of this approach, the author faced opposition from parents who protested his teaching approach for using these excerpts from Zinn's book. From this experience, the author presents key lessons he learned which could be useful for teachers who find their methods or material under scrutiny and attack. He concludes this paper by reminding educators that only by attempting to teach how different groups in American history have interacted positively, as well as negatively, can teachers hope to instill notions of social justice in their students.
