K-12 Educators in the Crosshairs
Matthew Hawn and Elissa Malespina
How do we equip K-12 educators to survive devastating attacks on the culture war frontlines? K-12 public educators Matthew Hawn (Tennessee high school social studies teacher) and Elissa Malespina (New Jersey high school librarian) were targeted for having conversations about white privilege and racial equity and justice in a contemporary issues class and for ensuring students’ access to LGBTQ+ and racially diverse books in the school library.
Hawn and Malespina were fired from their jobs, appeared in national headlines, and (in Hawn's case) faced state discipline. During the event, they will share the realities of being under attack and offer advice on creative, sustainable strategies for educators, pre-service educators, and allies to prepare and protect themselves and to fight back collaboratively.
Registration for in-person attendance is suggested, though not required.
