The Zinn Education Project, a progressive network that develops teaching resources, sent an email to its 125,000 followers on Wednesday recommending a lesson plan in which students craft their own reparations legislation. The email says the activity will help students reflect on “what a path toward justice might look like” following the riots. It also compares the Capitol riots to the Civil War and claims that following the war, the United States cared more about “traitorous Confederates” than African Americans.
