About the Event
We are joining with many other groups that include educators, students, and communities to promote and participate in the National Days of Teaching Truth, May 1-31, 2022. The week may consist of teaching–not just in schools–but also at school board meetings, public meetings and forums, libraries, in our homes with community members, at community centers, on-line and on social media. Activities under the banner of the National Days of Teaching Truth can include:Â
- Artistic, musical, poetic, dance performances or other ways of voicing dissent and celebrating truth.Â
- Reading, reciting, or discussing banned books (perhaps include authors of these books and/or experts about them) Teaching or developing lessons on race and racism, academic freedom and censorship, gender and sexuality and what it means to be educated in a country that claims to be free.
- Posting lesson plans or blogging about lessons on censored books and topics/lessons targeted by education gag orders.
