Community Conversation: Intellectual Freedom and Censorship

We invite you to a Community Conversation around Intellectual Freedom and Censorship on Wednesday, October 11th, from 12:00 -1:00 pm ET. 

Discover the importance of intellectual freedom and the consequences of censorship in our community. Let's talk about the balance between protecting vulnerable readers and preserving our right to access diverse ideas.

As we mark Banned Books Week, we invite you to participate in a stimulating dialogue that delves into the complexities of intellectual freedom and censorship and their far-reaching implications. This conversation will explore the delicate balance between safeguarding readers from potentially objectionable content and upholding our fundamental right to access a wide range of ideas and perspectives.

This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear!  If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)

About the format. With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
