ABOUT FREEDOM TO LEARN

The Freedom to Learn Day of Action is a kick-off event designed to mobilize a sustainable, grassroots network in defense of truthful, inclusive education by: Leveraging Advanced Placement (AP) exam period to protest the College Board’s decision to water down its AP African American Studies curriculum; Demonstrating that Black authors, ideas and frameworks are in demand by students nationwide looking to understand contemporary Black movements and our current political moment; Showcasing that this growing coalition of civil rights leaders, students, educators and parents are energized by attacks on freedom to learn and strong in numbers, standing ready to advocate for the truth and inclusive ideas beyond just the College Board as the national discourse turns toward 2024 presidential cycle.
