Your Right to Learn: Protect Against Classroom Censorship

Elected officials have moved to censor classrooms across Utah, restricting students & teachers from discussing race, gender, & sexual orientation in public schools and moving to ban books. All young people have a right to learn free from censorship or discrimination — we're committed to that fight!

In recent years, elected officials have moved to censor classrooms across Utah. They're trying to restrict students and teachers from discussing race, gender, and sexual orientation in public schools. At the same time, politicians and school boards are moving to ban books—predominately those by Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ authors— from public schools and libraries. Young people must see themselves and their experiences reflected in their classrooms and the books they read.
