Education and civil rights groups are forming a coalition to beat back censorship in Texas public schools and oppose book bans.
The Teach the Truth campaign aims to educate community members on how to testify at school board meetings, pressure state representatives and organize against attempts to limit what’s taught in classrooms.
Equality Texas director Ricardo Martinez said opponents of “critical race theory” have fabricated a moral panic. The groups involved in the new coalition – which includes the Children’s Defense Fund, Human Rights Campaign and Texas AFT – say books with diverse characters are necessary to reflect students’ experiences back to them while also exposing children to different realities.
