Marcus Walker, a humanities master at Fenway High School in Boston, worried that Trump’s actions damage the academic freedom of teachers and establish students to learn a “dishonest” vision of the history of the United States.
“As citizens, we are obliged to be responsible. We are obliged to understand our government, to learn how the government works and we are obliged to obtain precise information,” Walker said in the report. “All that is cut in short circuits if we are teaching dishonest history.”
