As a high school English and history teacher since 2020, I?ve seen how honest, relevant history can unlock future possibilities. That?s why I founded Why Did School Lie? in 2023, bringing deeper, inclusive historical perspectives to community members in Southwest Virginia. Each month, WDSL hosts accessible, engaging classes for life-long learners that uncover the truths often hidden in school textbooks. WDSL's mission is to provide meaningful historical education that represents the diversity of the American story, making connections between the past and present to inspire informed action and advance social justice.
