Schools across the country have begun to adopt practices around teaching and enforcing \\u201cwoke\\u201d principles that raise concerns about the rights and wellbeing of children. In some instances, students are required to publically declare their support or opposition to certain ideologies and \\u201ccorrected\\u201d later if their answers are not satisfactory. Are schools overstepping their bounds and infringing on students\\u2019 rights? How can educators generate healthy and productive conversations on race?

Joining Naomi and Ian in this episode is Bonnie Snyder, the High School Outreach Fellow at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). Bonnie shares her efforts with FIRE to produce a manuscript called \\u201cUndoctrinate,\\u201d which seeks to provide educators the necessary tools to promote free and constructive conversations in schools. Later, they share encouraging news about the success of the \\u201c1776 Unites\\u201d project\\u2019s high school curriculum, which presents a more complete and authentic approach to American history, recognizing both America\\u2019s legacy of slavery and the remarkable accomplishments of black Americans in the face of oppression.
