In The Librarians, the latest documentary from Kim A. Snyder, we meet heroines in Texas, Florida, and beyond who are defending books—and the people and perspectives within—from those who would banish or burn them.
Despite all the “parental rights” I supposedly have here in Florida, I couldn’t feel more concerned about our children’s safety and well-being.
You don’t need facts and perspective to sort what’s what from what’s not. Clinical studies have shown that all you need is your noggin.
Most of us assume the school day belongs to the school. But buried in a 1952 Supreme Court decision is a sentence being used to redraw that assumption.
I want my children to know things as they truly were, so they may acknowledge the dark periods of our shared history and strive toward a better future.
For those concerned about youth mental health, bringing in unlicensed religious adherents to preach their brand of nonscientific rationale for mental health concerns and to potentially ask that issues like anxiety and depression simply be prayed away will only make things worse.
Public education is often called the bedrock of American democracy. That is precisely why public schools have become the primary battleground for the Christian Nationalist movement.
What began in 2023 as a response to a single bad law has since become one of the strongest interfaith and secular coalitions defending real religious freedom in public education.
A decades-long effort by white Christian Nationalists has transformed “parental rights” into a weapon to censor curricula, control what all children learn, and ultimately dismantle public education as we know it.
