[Libs-Or] Leave a comment re: American History and Civics Education

[Amy Hofer]

Hi all, this message is cross-posted.

There's an opportunity through May 19 to leave a comment regarding the
federal Department of Education's proposed priorities for the American
History and Civics Education programs. The proposal is to include
culturally responsive teaching and information literacy in the program.
This is directly relevant to k-12 educators but also affects students in
higher ed downstream, and relates to academic freedom restrictions
regarding critical race theory.

The folks who oppose the proposal seem to have turned out in large numbers,
so if you are in support, please take a moment to leave a comment and share
in your own network.

FYI,
Amy
