Full: Join the Tennessee Coalition for Truth in Our Classrooms for a briefing and discussion on the implementation of the anti-truth and censorship laws that passed in the Tennessee General Assembly in 2021 and 2022, and how educators, students and community members are being affected and responding. The ACLU of Tennessee will guide attendees in understanding the content and legal implications of the censorship bills that are impacting our school boards and libraries, classroom curriculum and instruction, and will outline the authority of the state’s Textbook & Instructional Materials Quality Commission. The attendees will also learn about current advocacy efforts led by the Tennessee Association of School Librarians and Mom’s for Social Justice, and we encourage others to share their local concerns or efforts as well. Attendees will leave with actionable resources and ways to advocate on these important issues and make sure their voices are heard. https://edtrust.org/tennessee/tn-coalition-for-truth-in-our-classrooms/ Thanks, Bryan
