Bill Griffen, educator; political, social justice, anti-war/anti-nuclear & environmental activist: 1928 - 2007. "Schools of the 21st century must challenge the conventional, uncritical loyalty to corporatism, the market system, and global capitalism. We must resist the globalization of everything, because missing from the elite-driven plans is the globalization of peace over power and violence, justice over exploitation and victimization, and ecological sanity over treating nature as a commodity." Griffen co-authored a vital (now out of print) text, "Teaching the Vietnam War: A Critical Examination of School Texts and an Interpretive Comparative History Utilizing the Pentagon Papers and Other Documents" with John Marciano. Americans Who Tell the Truth has recently added this portrait of Griffen by Robert Shetterly to their series. Read more here: bit.ly/139Lit9
