The State of Education Censorship in Institutions of Higher Ed and Implications for the Field

The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE)

October 25, 2022

This report outlines the state of current educational censorship to date through an
examination of themes relevant to proposed and enacted legislation. The author
explores four themes: the erasure of ethno-racial diversity in schools through
restrictive teaching, the erasure of sex, gender, and LGBTQ+ diversity in schools
through restrictive teaching, distorted narratives through whistle-blown language,
and funding. This report focuses on the implications of such legislation for institutions
of higher education (IHEs) but includes implications for P-12 education and teaching
as well as the field at large.
