Produced with Advocates for Youth, this guide helps you counter the ‘parents’ rights’ narrative. Its topline messaging frames the movement as a political strategy funded by far-right activists to gain power and divide communities — pointing to 1,700+ book bans since 2020 and laws censoring what teachers can discuss.
