Trump understands that control of education is the fastest path to authoritarianism and fascism, therefore he is assaulting educators and using education to open the door to fascism. "We protect us" must be a strategy, not just a slogan. Legal strategies alone are insufficient because Trump disregards the law.
A broader strategy is needed, similar to the social movement that ended McCarthyism, requiring a mass multiracial movement. The Teach Truth National Day of Action on June 7 is an opportunity for educators, unions, parents, students, and others to show solidarity and resist authoritarianism. Resources for setting up ban book tables, teach-ins, and walking tours are available on the ZYN Education Project website.
