Educational Censorship Campaign

PEN America fights against laws that stop teachers from talking about topics like race, history, and LGBTQ+ issues in schools. These 'gag order' laws make it hard for students to learn about important topics. The campaign tracks these harmful laws, helps college leaders speak up, and gives communities tools to fight censorship. They publish research reports and guides to help people understand and stop educational censorship in their area.

Goal

Fight government censorship laws that restrict teaching about race, gender, history, and LGBTQ+ topics in schools and colleges
