November 2021
Dear John,
We have two new resources on recent book bans, a blog about how schools are using anti-Critical Race Theory (CRT) laws to challenge and ban certain books and a lesson plan about book bans in general. November is Native American Heritage Month and we have collection of resources for you. We're also presenting two webinars in November that address the critical importance of antisemitism education and actions you can take during the week of Hanukkah.
New Blog Schools are Using Anti-Critical Race Theory Laws to Ban Children’s Literature
Schools are using the new state bans against CRT to justify banning books that help students understand the impact of racism and systemic discrimination and oppression. And there is a ripple effect even in states without these laws.
