What if your child’s lesson about September 11th skipped the ideology behind the attacks and instead focused on blaming America? Parents should not assume that every 9/11 curriculum tells
the full story. That’s why we created this guide.
Has your child come home from school talking about privilege and oppression? Has a classroom exercise asked your child to share family beliefs or reveal personal trauma? Has a lesson sorted students by race, gender, or sexuality and asked them to examine their own privilege or bias?
When concerns arise at schools — whether about classroom experiences, curriculum, or safety — parents often wonder what steps they can take to help their children. This guide sets forth both informal and formal avenues of action, along with practical tools, to help you navigate the legal framework and advocate effectively.
Because legal processes can be complex, parents should seek legal counsel when needed. Many legal resources, listed below, are available to support you in your advocacy efforts.
Across the country, ethnic studies is being introduced in schools, often with the stated goal of promoting inclusion and representation. While that goal is laudable, school leaders should examine how these curricula are actually being implemented. Ethnic studies often reflects a political ideology that prioritizes activism over academic learning and discourages critical thinking and open discussion. Schools can meet the goal of inclusion by trengthening existing history and civics instruction, ensuring that all students can think critically about our complex past and engage as informed citizens.
