NEW REPORT—In recent years, a growing number of states have considered or passed curriculum censorship, hostile school climate and #DontSayGay bills. These bills threaten safe school environments, esp. for LGBTQ youth.

Read our analysis with @EqualityFed: bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… Image
From 2020 to 2021, the number of curriculum censorship and hostile school climate bills grew dramatically, especially bills censoring discussions of race and bills focused on transgender youth and school sports: bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… Image
@EqualityFed In 2020-2021, at least 42 states considered hostile school climate and curriculum censorship bills, including #DontSayGay bills and bans on critical race theory.

More than 80% of the nation’s youth—or over 59 million young people—live in these states: bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… Image
In 2020-2021, at least 30 states considered curriculum censorship bills that would censor or restrict inclusive curriculum, including about race, ethnicity, LGBTQ people, and more: bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… Image
In 2020-2021, at least 40 states considered hostile school climate bills, which cover many threats to a safe school environment. In some cases, these include provisions that require teachers and counselors to forcibly “out” LGBTQ children to their parents: bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… Image
In 2022, 39 states have introduced bills that:
❌ censor discussions of race and #LGBTQ people in schools
❌ create a hostile climate for students
❌ undermine public education

Read our latest report with @EqualityFed: bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… usatoday.com/story/news/edu…
At least 280 hostile school climate and curriculum censorship bills have been introduced in 2022.

At least 40 bills in 19 states this year seek to ban or limit whether schools can even mention #LGBTQ people/issues—bills often known as #DontSayGay bills: bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… Image
These bills:

❌ limit what teachers and schools can say to students about race, ethnicity, and LGBTQ people
❌ undermine the safety and academic performance of students
❌ negatively impact the mental health of students, especially LGBTQ youth

➡️ bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… Image
@EqualityFed Let's be clear: these bills are a coordinated political attack on #LGBTQ people, on people of color, and on public education.

Ultimately, curricula should be set by educators, not by partisan politicians with political agendas: bit.ly/SchoolBillsRep… Image
Our schools should protect all students—including #LGBTQ students—so they can learn and thrive in a safe environment. These kinds of laws would force schools to violate that most basic trust.

MAP’s new report, "Under Fire: The War on LGBTQ People in America", is the first in a series that shows how, despite advances for LGBTQ equality over the last decade, LGBTQ people are facing an unprecedented firestorm of attacks. 🧵

🔥 Read the report. ⬇️ mapresearch.org/under-fire-rep…
In this brand-new report series, MAP dives into fast, furious, and coordinated anti-LGBTQ attacks that are astonishing in their breadth, cruelty, and flagrant disregard for personal freedoms. Image
These attacks are resulting in hostility, harassment, and violence targeting both LGBTQ people and supporters as they move through their daily lives. Image

Fact—So-called "Don't Say Gay or Trans" bills aren't the first of their kind in the country: A handful of states have had similar laws on the books for decades. 19thnews.org/2022/04/dont-s…
For example, Florida’s #DontSayGay bill is part of a long legacy of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and legislation in the state. The “Save Our Children” campaign led by Anita Bryant in the 1970s helped spawn Florida's #LGBTQ culture war.

As @loganscasey describes, these bills are also relics of the AIDS crisis: “Once the HIV epidemic came into the picture, then a bunch of states started considering & enacting laws that banned instruction on sexuality & homosexuality in public education[.]" 19thnews.org/2022/04/dont-s…
