Join us this Thursday, 5/2 for our last #FreedomToLearn Homeroom featuring: @AyannaPressley, @TheRevAl, @shavonarline, @sandylocks, @mayawiley, @RepRaskin, @coalitionbuildr, @MARCMORIAL, @DamonTHewitt & more! Register: bit.ly/F2L_ROAD2NDOA24 #FreedomSummer2024
"Dear Black child, you deserve a liberated learning -- lusciously locked on literacy." - Dr. @NiaMichelleNunn (poet) #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024
"The RNC co-chair is saying that if Trump wins, that using those exact terms of scorched earth is what will represent the administration. We don't have to try to intuit what their intentions are, they're telling us." -@vlnzl #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024institutions.
"Thank you for naming project 2025. I do fear that every state will become (like) Texas if Trump gets (re)elected and project 2025 is implemented." - @vlnzl #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024
"The students in Texas have been understandably very upset. They've formed a Senate Bill 17 coalition in opposition of the bill that made the closing and shuttering of DEI offices and trainings legal." - @vlnzl #FreedomToLearn
"This has been devastating for us at UT Austin, with reverberations that go far beyond the 60+ people who have been terminated. These individuals have been basically banished. These are what I'm calling the politics of banishment, scorched earth policies." -@vlnzl #FreedomToLearn
"What we see at the base of all of this is a real horrible kind of white supremacy politics that makes these 'scorched earth' practices acceptable in some corner of the universe. Certainly not ours." - @vlnzl #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024
"Thank you @shavonarline for invoking Jesus and spirituality in justice seeking. We need Christ consciousness and we need unity consciousness in this moment -- in a world where people are being othered and made to feel less than." - @vlnzl #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024
"Faith leaders have an important role in justice seeking. As I interface with faith leaders, I say that Jesus was the original civil rights leader... You cannot say you love Jesus if you don't love justice." - Reverend @shavonarline #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024
"We have personally reached out to ATF to see how can we utilize the materials #FreedomToLearn has to help get the word out in some core markets across the country. And so our goal is to get that going this summer, as we prepared ourselves for the school year." - @shavonarline
"One of the things we are doing to promote the #FreedomToLearn is we're working with our programs, advocacy and policy team to resource young people and families with foundation civics understandings." - @shavonarline #FreedomSummer2024
"We are facing the same generational challenges that confronted SNCC organizers during Freedom Summer 1964. And that’s why the freedom to learn is so important." - @sandylocks #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024
"By celebrating the suspension of protesters + calling for the firing/prosecution of professors who support students, the right proves its concerns about indoctrination, divisiveness and so-called cancel culture were always phony." -@sandylocks #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024
"As the right accuses DEI, affirmative action, and CRT of being "divisive” on college campuses, contributing to stifling conservative voices, they're doing a 180 to crackdown on free speech at Columbia, USC, UT Austin + other campuses in the country."-@sandylocks #FreedomToLearn
"Forced illiteracy is what anti-wokeness is trying to achieve. Nothing makes this clearer than Project 2025, a blueprint that would nationalize antiwoke censorship, taking away the hard fought concepts and policies that have helped us get this far." - @sandylocks #FreedomToLearn
"Most importantly, is the diminished overrepresentation of white men in the White House. One non-white occupant was enough to spark a moral panic. And in order to make that backlash palatable, the Right has hit upon using color-blindness as a cover." - @sandylocks #FreedomToLearn
"As AAPF co-founder Luke Harris frames the matter, the existential crisis in equality law is not the continued underrepresentation of people of color throughout society, but the “diminished overrepresentation of white people”..." - @sandylocks #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024
"As we predicted, the assault on Critical Race Theory and structural racism has extended now to “diversity, equity and inclusion” which is now an epithet." - @sandylocks #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024 #CRT
"Contrast that memory with today, where systemic racism has been deemed as a divisive concept, purged from curricula all over the country, even from AP African American studies in dozens of states." - @sandylocks #FreedomToLearn #FreedomSummer2024

Join us this Thursday April 25th for our fourth homeroom "Weaponization of Colorblindness: Understanding the Attacks on Civil Rights and DEI." Register here: bit.ly/F2L_ROAD2NDOA24
When Moms for Liberty won a school board election in Central Bucks, PA, the local community fought back with grassroots organizing to win back those seats and repair the damage that Moms for Liberty caused the community. Way to go Central Bucks for defeating this extremism!
Resisting book & curriculum bans should be a primary focus of the left. #NoToFascism “U.S. school districts banned more books during the first half of the current academic year than during the entire last scholastic year.” #TeachTruth #ReadBannedBooks commondreams.org/news/book-bans…
"For #NationalLibrarianDay, I want us all to recognize these incredible library workers for who they are: valued members of our communities and active defenders of our democracy." — ALA President Emily Drabinski in @TheAdvocateMag advocate.com/voices/emily-d… #UniteAgainstBookBans
Tomorrow, I'll be joining the panel “The Attacks On DEI: Where Do We Go From Here?" to discuss the importance of preserving a multiracial democracy and how we can mobilize for the Freedom to Learn! #NANCONV2024
@sandylocks @sandylocks: "It is the collective responsibility of all of us in the academy and as researchers to do just that... The freedom to learn is the freedom to live."
@sandylocks @sandylocks: "We have to defend the freedom to learn, not just against the DeSantises of the world but against the moderate enablers who are willing to accommodate censorship to increase their profits."
@sandylocks @sandylocks: "Antiracism and democracy are intertwined. We cannot save one without the other."
@sandylocks @sandylocks: "The problem is that this gap about what needs to happen, what knowledge we need, is what allows the attack on us to be seen not as an attack."
@sandylocks @sandylocks: "The question I'd like to raise here... is how can we strengthen ourselves for the road ahead?"
@sandylocks @sandylocks: "CRT isn't a top-down foreign set of ideas, but a homegrown bottom-up practice of racial literacy about the continuous ways that race shapes our social world."
@sandylocks @sandylocks: "Assaults on public education is on overdrive, and the defense, our defense, is just getting its boots on."
@sandylocks: "Why are we here? And what awaits us if we do not rise to this challenge?"
@TyroneCHoward .@sandylocks comes to the stage (and takes a selfie with the crowd)! Her keynote is titled “Fighting Back to Move Forward: Defending the Freedom to Learn In the War Against Woke” #AERA24
It's almost time! The Opening Plenary with special lecturer @sandylocks starts at 6:10pm! Her lecture, "Fighting Back to Move Forward: Defending the Freedom to Learn In the War Against Woke" will outline how extremists have weaponized critical race theory in their “war on woke."
