This will only take a minute, we promise!
Fall is when you refresh lesson plans—and when we refresh our budget. For decades, we've made our resources available for free. Now that we've left Stanford to become a non-profit, we need your help to keep them free.
A contribution of $5—or a little more if you can—funds the next round of classroom-tested materials.
Budgets are tight. That's why we keep our ask small and our impact large. If our materials save you prep time and spark richer classroom discussions, please consider helping us keep them free.
In 1919, the U.S. Department of Justice, under the leadership of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, launched a series of mass arrests and deportations that targeted political radicals. But were the government’s actions legal? In this lesson, students will examine four historical documents to answer the question: Did the U.S. government violate people’s constitutional rights during the Palmer Raids?
