last year, there has been"a wave of copycat bills in statehouses across the country, and in many instances with even more censorious rules," the PEN America experts wrote.H.B. 1557 prohibits public schools from offering any"classroom instruction related to sexual orientation or gender identity" in kindergarten through grade three, or thereafter in a manner that is not age- and developmentally appropriate.
The scope of materials and ideas these new bills would ban is also greater, raising the possibility that teachers could find themselves muzzled on a confusing and ever-growing array of topics. Such legislation, researchers warned,"poses a grave threat to the circulation of information and ideas in public schools and libraries, as well as to the very individuals engaged in this educational work."PEN America called"the expansion of restrictions on higher education" one of"the most notable educational censorship trends over the past two years."
