ICUJP Friday Forum
September 2nd, 7:30-9:30 am Pacific
WHY WE NEED TO TEACH PEACE AND JUSTICE IN AMERICA’S PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Description: Just when students in the United States are most in need of learning the best and the worst in American history, the right of teachers to teach free of censorship and government interference is under assault.
Join us for a timely discussion exploring these vital issues. Why do students deserve to learn about peace and justice, as much as reading, writing, and arithmetic? How has the American educational system addressed the teaching of peace and justice and how can it do a better job? What happens to teachers who try to teach outside the patriotic boundaries of permitted material? How has the training of teachers in the United States perpetuated White Supremacy? What’s behind efforts in Congress and state legislatures to ban the teaching of The 1619 Project, Critical Race Theory, and a People’s History of the United States? How can we fight back? https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/florida-educators-and-students-file-lawsuit-challenging-stop-woke-censorship-law
