SUMMARY:Teach Truth Day of Action 2024
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to take action. . . . again. \nFor the past three summers\, teachers rallied across the country to speak out against anti-history education bills and to make public their pledge to teach the truth. The teacher-led rallies received national media attention\, providing a valuable counter narrative to the oversized coverage of the well-funded anti-CRT movement. \nOnce again\, we invite educators\, students\, parents\, and community members to rally across the country and pledge to #TeachTruth and defend LGBTQ+ rights on June 8\, 2024. \nThe situation is urgent. \nLawmakers in at least 44 states have introduced legislation or pursued other measures that attempt to require educators to lie to students about the role of racism\, sexism\, heterosexism\, transphobia\, and other forms of oppression throughout U.S. history. These laws and restrictions have been imposed in at least 18 states. The Right has declared war on teaching the truth about structural racism and sexism and on LGBTQ+ youth. \nBooks by Black\, Indigenous\, authors of color\, LGBTQ+\, and Palestinian American writers are increasingly being banned. \nAs Jesse Hagopian points out\, \nJust as the Red Scare and the Lavender Scare were used to purge teachers from the late-1940s through the early-1960s\, the current attacks on what history deniers have labeled “critical race theory” and “gender ideology” are directly connected. \nIn Florida\, Gov. DeSantis’s so-called “Parental Rights in Education” bill — better known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill — prohibits classroom instruction related to gay\, lesbian\, or transgender issues\, and sexuality or gender identity more broadly. Florida is one of six states that censor discussions of LGBTQ+ people or issues in school\, and one of eighteen that bans transgender students from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity. \nWhile claiming to “protect” young people\, the right-wing legislators block any efforts to address gun violence (the leading cause of death for young people) and the existential threat of climate change. \nThis is a national call. \nLearn more.

SUMMARY:Censored Teachers Speak Out: Stories from the Fight to Teach Truth
DESCRIPTION:About the Event \n\n\nAcross the country\, educators face extreme backlash for teaching the truth and creating inclusive classrooms. As of June 2022\, the Washington Post identified at least 160 educators who lost their jobs or resigned because they taught about race or LGBTQ+ issues — and there are undoubtedly scores more who have been pushed out of the classroom that have gone unreported. Mainstream media often misses crucial aspects of the larger story: the historical context that led to this dangerous wave of legislation\, the student-led organizing and educator resistance\, the parents who defend teachers\, and how teachers are forced to find their own legal and financial support in the wake of termination. Hear directly from teachers facing termination and censorship and offer solidarity and support. \nPanelists: \nMelissa Tempel (she/her) is a National Board Certified public school teacher activist and co-author of the ALA Stonewall Honor book\, Rethinking Sexism\, Gender\, and Sexuality from Wisconsin. Melissa has over 20 years experience teaching primary grades in bilingual and dual language classrooms in public schools. In April 2023\, Melissa was abruptly removed from her position as first-grade dual language teacher after a tweet she made brought national attention to harmful school board policies that impacted students and educators in her school district. She was ultimately terminated and in September 2023 Melissa filed a federal lawsuit against the district. \nMatthew Hawn has taught Economics\, World History\, Contemporary Issues\, and Personal Finance while coaching baseball\, softball\, and football for 16 years in the Sullivan County School System in Tennessee. He also served as the teacher advisor to SCHS PRIDE\, the sole LGBTQIA student organization in Sullivan County. On May 5\, 2021\, the same day that the Tennessee General Assembly passed a contentious bill regarding divisive concepts in education\, he was dismissed by Sullivan County Schools. His dismissal arose from his commitment to teaching racial equity and justice lessons in an upper-level contemporary issues class. The catalysts for the dismissal included assigning an article by Ta-Nehisi Coates following the January 6 insurrection and presenting the poem “White Privilege” by the avant-garde poet Kyla Jenee Lacey during the Derek Chauvin trial in April 2021. Matthew became the first tenured public school teacher dismissed for teaching lessons related to racial equity and justice during a nationwide debate on Critical Race Theory. \nAmy Donofrio is an award-winning teacher in Duval County Public Schools in Florida. She was removed for declining to take down a Black Lives Matter sign from her classroom at a high school named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee with a student population that’s more than 70 percent Black. Donofrio and her students had previously co-founded EVAC Movement to address the racism they faced as Black youth and had presented at Harvard and the White House. Students’ protests of Donofrio’s removal made national news and the Southern Poverty Law Center sued DCPS on her behalf. One month later\, then-Florida Department of Education Commissioner\, Richard Corcoran\, gave a headline-making speech at Hillsdale College bragging he “made sure she was terminated”  despite Donofrio still being employed and no opened state investigation. Soon after Donofrio publicly contested his comments\, DCPS terminated her and the Florida Department of Education placed her under investigation. Her licensure hearing is set for this fall. \nDr. James Whitfield is an award-winning educator who’s centered on creating safe\, nurturing\, and equitable learning environments. Over the course of nearly two decades in education he’s served as a classroom teacher\, assistant principal and principal at the middle and high school levels. He’s known for disrupting systemic barriers\, building positive culture\, and driving innovation to build excellent learning environments for all students. Education changed the course of his life and he’s driven by a deep sense of purpose to ensure every student feels seen\, heard\, valued\, and has access to a great school experience. \nThe panel is moderated by Jesse Hagopian.  \nJesse Hagopian has been an educator for over twenty years and taught for over a decade Seattle’s Garfield High School–the site of the historic boycott of the MAP test.  Jesse is an editor for the social justice periodical Rethinking Schools\, is the co-editor of the books\, Black Lives Matter at School\, Teaching for Black Lives\, Teacher Unions and Social Justice\, and is the editor of the book\, More Than a Score: The New Uprising Against High-Stakes Testing.  \nParticipants will need access to Zoom. Register for the Zoom link and get a discount code for Rethinking Schools magazine. \nREGISTER HERE \nASL Interpretation will be available. \nThe event is free. To make events like this available to more educators and activists\, we would greatly appreciate your solidarity donation.

SUMMARY:Teach Truth Day of Action June 10
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to take action. . . . again.\nFor the past two summers\, teachers rallied across the country at historic sites to speak out against anti-history education bills and to make public their pledge to teach the truth. The teacher-led rallies received national media attention\, providing a valuable counter narrative to the oversized coverage of the well-funded anti-CRT movement. \nOnce again\, we invite educators\, students\, parents\, and community members to rally across the country and pledge to #TeachTruth and defend LGBTQ+ rights on June 10\, 2023. \nThe situation is urgent. \nLawmakers in at least 44 states have introduced legislation or pursued other measures that attempt to require educators to lie to students about the role of racism\, sexism\, heterosexism\, transphobia\, and other forms of oppression throughout U.S. history. These laws and restrictions have been imposed in at least 18 states. The Right has declared war on teaching the truth about structural racism and sexism and on LGBTQ+ youth. \nBooks by Black\, Indigenous\, authors of color\, and LGBTQ+ writers are increasingly being banned. \nAs Jesse Hagopian points out\, \nJust as the Red Scare and the Lavender Scare were used to purge teachers from the late-1940s through the early-1960s\, the current attacks on what history deniers have labeled “critical race theory” and “gender ideology” are directly connected. \nIn Florida\, Gov. DeSantis’s so-called “Parental Rights in Education” bill — better known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill — prohibits classroom instruction related to gay\, lesbian\, or transgender issues\, and sexuality or gender identity more broadly. Florida is one of six states that censor discussions of LGBTQ+ people or issues in school\, and one of eighteen that bans transgender students from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity. \nWhile claiming to “protect” young people\, the right-wing legislators block any efforts to address gun violence (the leading cause of death for young people) and the existential threat of climate change. \nThis is a national call. \n \nAlthough bills and budget resolutions are being proposed (and in some cases passed) in specific states\, the threat to teaching — and the need for solidarity — is everywhere. \nWe invite people to participate from all over the United States. You can plan a virtual event or gathering at a historic site. From our freedom to vote\, to our children’s freedom to learn\, to everyone’s freedom from gun violence\, certain politicians want to overturn the will of the people and block the policies we need for our students\, families\, and communities to thrive. By coming together\, we can rewrite the rules to ensure safe\, affirming\, and welcoming schools and the freedom to learn for our children — across race\, place\, and gender identities — no exceptions. \nHow to Plan An Action in Your City\nTo make our voices loud and clear\, we hope to see actions (of all sizes — from one person to 100+) all over the United States. \nIt is important to sign up so that we can send you more resources and support. While the step-by-step guide further below (after the co-sponsor list) is detailed\, the process is simple: \n\nOrganize a gathering at the site (or online) with fellow educators\, family members\, students\, and community members. The group can be any size. If you don’t have time to organize a group\, pick a site and go on your own or with a friend. Every voice and action counts!\nInvite teachers to share their commitment to teaching truthfully\, parents to share why they want their children to have an uncensored education\, and students to share why learning the truth about history and respecting all identities is important to them. You can plan other activities. See ideas in the slides and detailed description further below.\nPost photos and videos to social media with the hashtag #TeachTruth\n\nBelow are examples of day of action activities\, from prior events around the country. \n  \n  \n  \nSign Up to Host an Event \n\nLeadership\nThese events are coordinated by the Zinn Education Project (coordinated by Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change)\, Black Lives Matter at School\, and the African American Policy Forum. \nCLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE AND RSVP

SUMMARY:Beyond “Schools In Crisis”: Teachers and Students on Our Present Realities and Collective Possibilities
DESCRIPTION:Invitation to an event hosted by the Anti-Racist Education Collective\, the New Haven Federation of Teachers\, and Recovery for All Connecticut. \nEvery day\, we hear about the great teacher resignation and shortage\, student learning loss\, and the many crises facing our schools. Absent from these debates have been the voices of the educators and students at their center\, who share a far more nuanced understanding of what is truly taking place within in our schools.\nStudents and educators understand the problems schools face\, and the long-standing conditions that the pandemic built upon and compounded. Their creativity\, ideas\, and insights are crucial to building a just future for all public schools. \nThis panel centers the voices of educators and students as we consider: \n\nWhat are the contours of the crises in our schools?\nHow did these conditions precede the pandemic and which aspects are unique to this era?\nWhat power can we harness to transform our schools into the ones our students have long deserved?\n\nThe event will be held on Zoom with ASL interpretation. \nREGISTER HERE
