Such bills represent a growing effort to "hijack public education in America," said PEN America's Jonathan Friedman.Over the past two and a half years, Republicans across the United States have introduced nearly 380 bills aimed at establishing a climate of fear among educators, librarians, and other school officials, according to acensorship measures
Often introduced under the guise of protecting "parental rights," such bills require students to receive approval from their parents before taking part in any instruction related to gender identity, give parents and other state residents more power to review and protest instructional materials, prohibit school libraries from offering any material not deemed "age-appropriate," and more.
Jonathan Friedman, director of Free Expression and Education programs at PEN America, said that the "rising tide of educational intimidation exposes the movement that cloaks itself in the language of 'parental rights' for what it really is: a smoke screen for efforts to suppress teaching and learning and hijack public education in America."
Missouri lawmakers have introduced the most educational intimidation bills in the U.S. at 31, with Texas, Oklahoma, and South Carolina not far behind.
