Opinion: Cynical MAGA censors are damaging public education
Washington Post
MAGA culture warriors have heightened their threats against teachers and school administrators. Our public education system is now paying the price.
That’s the takeaway from an alarming study from a group of researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of California at Riverside. They found that the “virulent stream of hyperpartisan political conflict" has had "a chilling effect on high school education.” Teachers are seeking to avoid controversy by "pulling back on teaching lessons in civics, politics, and the history and experiences of America’s minority communities”; incidents of verbal harassment of LGBTQ students are on the rise; and many teachers and administrator are planning to leave their jobs.
