Hey Frank -- so glad you're fighting the good fight. Reading a bit about SB37, thanks to your post here, I wonder if you have any sense for what shape resistance to curricular limits and censorship might take. Do you imagine students themselves pushing back on attempts to censor curricula, or whitewash history, etc? I find that one way I reach for hope is to imagine how these efforts will inspire resistance, and I wonder if you see this sort of thing happening, and, if so, what shape it takes.
Nathaniel!! I don't know, man. I think all of this stuff will have to inspire resistance, but unfortunately I think a lot of it won't materialize until these bills start to have real effects on college campuses. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't see a lot of coverage of the "anti-woke," "anti-DEI" bills at universities. Part of that is that there is just so much bad stuff out there right now, and it's overwhelming.

Thank you for sharing all of these and for everything you are doing. There is so much harm coming from these bills. We have to keep fighting.
Thanks for all you are doing! The next nightmare coming up is our State Board of Education rewriting the social studies standards. 😳
