Peter,
Every student deserves an education based in honesty and integrity. But in recent months, some politicians have pushed to restrict educators’ ability to teach the truth, passing bans on honesty in education in nearly a dozen different states.
That’s why, as NEA’s general counsel, I joined the latest episode of NEA’s School Me podcast—to debunk the manufactured panic over “critical race theory” and explain educators’ rights to teach their students the truth.
Take a listen to this important new episode here. ›Listen ›
In reality, “critical race theory” being taught in elementary, middle, or high schools isn’t a concern—but this wave of new state restrictions is. These measures undermine educators’ ability to teach the full, complex truth of our nation’s history, doing their students and our communities a disservice.
Check out this latest episode of School Me to learn more about these new restrictions on honesty in education.
All students deserve to be taught the truth—and all educators deserve the right to teach it.
In solidarity,
Alice O’Brien
General Counsel
