Freethought Discussion: The Right's Attack on Public Education

Topic: The Right's Attack on Public Education

Topic by Guest Moderator Bill K.

There is currently a strong, well organized, and apparently well funded push from the right to eliminate any references to common human decency and historical inequities, among other things, in our public education. The goal seems to be to promote a white x-tian nationalist viewpoint. The charge is being led by national politicians like Ron DeSantis and the group Moms for Liberty. The tools being used are censorship, book-banning, and removal of all instructional material referencing human decency and past societal injustices.

How do we combat this movement? Who are our natural allies with whom to form coalitions to fight this movement? Or is this even our fight?
