This book encompasses a historical approach to understanding the trends of education censorship. The author examines how we got here, exploring network influences, the inextricable role of the mainstream media in manufacturing social and political divides, the policy impact of censorship, and the implications on schools and youth development. Analysis includes the legislative efforts to undermine Critical Race Theory, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Social-Emotional Learning, as well as the trends to restrict youth rights, including trans and gender-expansive rights related to gender-affirming care, sports bans, and restroom bans. Subsequent chapters provide an overview of the educational system, trends of neoliberalism, standards-based movement, inequities, punitive disciplinary systems contextualized by the strengths and limitations of the progressive reform movement. Weaving together the effects of the neoliberal education movement, the relationship to education censorship, and the unique connections to political polarization can help to re-orient us toward solutions, unity, and healing.
