Students and teachers are at risk...
friend,
Our public schools are facing dire challenges in the age of education
censorship. Students and teachers are suffering as discussion of their
identities, history and communities are banned from classrooms and
labeled "inappropriate" by hard-right lawmakers.
We are asking for your support today because our schools cannot
continue failing students and educators. Please make a special gift
today to ensure the SPLC can continue our work for inclusive, honest
education for all.

Young people across the Deep South are being deeply harmed by the
outlawing of inclusive education. Because these hateful laws are often
intentionally vague, they create confusion, fear and intimidation for
teachers who risk losing their jobs for discussing topics conservative
lawmakers deem "divisive."
In Florida, "Don't Say Gay"

and the banning of the Advanced Placement African American
history curriculum

have threatened the essence of academic freedom, making it
difficult for students to learn the hard truth about Black
Americans' historic struggle for racial and gender
equality. Conservative lawmakers in the Deep South will likely
introduce even more education censorship bills in their upcoming 2024
legislative session, but we're prepared to fight back.
Your commitment to help us fight to end hate in our education system
and beyond is deeply appreciated. Make a special gift today to help us
combat censorship, hate and white supremacy in schools.

Education censorship laws take us backwards, brewing intolerance and
promoting misinformation, heightened biases and violence.
To combat hate in our schools and communities, our Learning for
Justice
[link removed]
program promotes preventative measures - uplifting diversity,
justice and action as foundations to equip the next generation of
leaders. Teaching the truth, whether good or bad, is critical to
learning lessons from the past to shape a better future.
We provide educators with a wide range of tools that address and
prevent hate incidents, including curriculum materials, teaching
strategies and professional development to create inclusive and
anti-bias learning environments for students.
Your generous support goes toward our work with community partners,
educators and students to prevent hateful incidents and attacks in our
schools.

beyond.
