Liz Willen Dear reader,

We’ve heard a great deal in recent months about politicians, parents and school boards trying to dictate what teachers can and cannot teach in our public schools. At The Hechinger Report, we are also interested in how students are coping with what many consider new forms of censorship, such as Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law.

At Winter Park High, a school of more than 3,400 students outside Orlando, many are fighting back ([link removed]) , as our Ariel Gilreath reports in a fascinating story about what students are thinking – and doing – to get their voices heard on these issues. Also this week, Tara García Mathewson takes us inside ([link removed]) her investigation into how corporal punishment is still used in several states, and Proof Points columnist Jill Barshay looks at some new and controversial research on racial bias ([link removed]) in special education.

And last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Board announced an inquiry into training repayment agreements that often lead workers into unforeseen debt. The inquiry follows our story about trucking companies ([link removed]) that offer “free” training to drivers but require them to work for the company for anywhere from six months to two years; if they stop, can be pursued for huge payments for this training.

We are proud to bring you the kinds of stories about education you won’t see elsewhere, and hope you will remind others who are interested to sign up ([link removed]) for our newsletters. As always, we love to hear from our readers.

Liz Willen, Editor
