Friend – Imagine not being able to freely talk at school about our country's history of slavery – or not being able to access books from your public library simply because they speak to issues that impact all of our daily lives, including topics related to race, gender, and sexuality. This is exactly what state lawmakers across the country are trying to make happen – and it's not only an attack on students' right to learn, it's a threat to everyone's First Amendment rights. Our lawyers are in courtrooms across the country right now fighting for the freedom to learn without censorship and discrimination for all. But here's the thing: We need your help. Our efforts will be the most powerful and successful when we have a strong backing from the people behind us. So we're going to make this quick – we made you a toolkit to help combat classroom censorship efforts in your own school and school districts just in time for Banned Books Week this week. Whether you're a student or just someone who cares about the freedoms of our educational spaces, this toolkit has all you need to take action in your immediate region – from how school governance rules work to tactics for organizing in your community.
For students and educators everywhere, The ACLU Team |
