\n

American Federation of Teachers <\/a>President Randi Weingarten launched a hotline called “Freedom to Teach and Learn” to report instances of book banning and challenges against curricula.<\/p>\n

The “Freedom to Teach and Learn” hotline comes amid the myriad of book bans and protests against progressive curricula across the country.<\/p>\n

The hotline was announced in Weingarten\u2019s address to the National Press Club, one of a 4-part plan to “help kids\u2019 recovery and reclaim the purpose and promise of public education.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Weingarten, the leader of the 1.7 million-member union, claimed that “MAGA lawmakers have used culture wars to divide communities and other schemes that drain resources from public education.”<\/p>\n

The hotline was launched in conjunction with the Campaign for Our Shared Future to report “instances of political interference and censorship.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a place to call if you\u2019ve been told to remove a book from the curriculum or from the library, if you\u2019ve been told that there are topics that can\u2019t be discussed in your classes or that you cannot teach honestly and appropriately, or if politicians in your district or state are targeting vulnerable student groups to score political points,” she said.<\/p>\n

Since the pandemic, school board meetings have become battlegrounds between parents and school board officials. Parents across the country have protested controversial curriculum like critical race theory<\/u><\/a> as well as certain books in public libraries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has fronted the purge of books that were deemed controversial. He also signed a parental rights bill that banned teachers from giving classroom instruction on “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” in kindergarten through third grade. The governor is also considering expanding the measure to all K-12.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Other states have made similar moves, reigniting the debate on how much control parents have over their children’s education.\u00a0<\/p>\n

School board meetings have gotten so heated that the National School Board Association<\/u><\/a> in September 2021 sent a controversial letter to the Justice Department that compared actions taken by frustrated parents at school board meetings to domestic terrorism.<\/p>\n

The letter prompted the Department of Justice to launch an effort to combat what it said is an “increase” in “threats of violence” against school officials and teachers across the country.<\/p>\n

Recently, the Judiciary Committee launched an investigation into the Department of Justice’s actions and released a report finding that the federal agency misused authorities to investigate parents who were vocal during school board meetings.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
