"Book Bans and Gag Orders in the P-12 Classroom" - Wed. 11/2 from 4-5pm

[Daniel Lake]

 The Institute for Ethics in Public Life, Education Department, and
Feinberg Library present:

"Book bans and gag orders in the P-12 classroom"

Over the last few years there have been a large number of new laws and
policies that restrict what teachers can teach. Starting with political
candidates claiming that "critical race theory" is being used to
indoctrinate students, there has been a concerted effort to prevent
teachers from teaching their students about race, ethnicity, sexality, and
gender, all in the name of "parent choice". This has resulted in a wave of
new book bans and gag orders such as the notorious "Don't Say Gay" bill and
Stop WOKE Act in Florida. This panel will discuss why this is happening and
the impact it is having on teachers and students in the classrooms where
these new laws apply.

Panelists include:

Prof. Heidi Schnackenberg, Dept. Chair, M.S.Ed. Programs
Assoc. Prof. Maureen Squires, Dept. Chair, B.A./M.S.T and M.S.T. Programs
Assoc. Prof. Yong Yu, Education Department
Asst. Prof. James Rigney, Education Department
Director of Feinberg Library Elin O'Hara-Gonyea

The panel will be held in the Cardinal Lounge, ACC, from 4-5pm on
Wednesday, Nov. 2.
