Our vision at Freedom to Read Project is to support robust, content-rich classroom, school, and public libraries and safeguard against the removal of books based on ideological, partisan, or religious reasons.
We are parents dedicated to protecting access to information and ideas - particularly in our public schools and libraries. We provide educational and research resources to parents and groups around the country to inform advocacy efforts around preserving student-centered decision making, especially as they face the “Parents’ Rights” movement.
Our mission is to network and support parent-led groups and allies from across the country, to unite our voices and protect every student’s right to access information and ideas.
To provide resources, workshops, and forums to educate parents, teachers, and community groups throughout the country on the importance of intellectual freedom and the benefits of comprehensive, multicultural, and varied materials in education.
Ensure that students across the country have access to a broad range of books and materials that reflect our pluralistic society by including various cultures, experiences, and perspectives, in support of a well-rounded education for all.
If we want to improve literacy rates, we must ensure ready access to high quality and engaging reading materials that reflect the lives of students. Categorical funding is required. A robust classroom library, especially in K-5, should not be based on career longevity or the expendable income of the teacher. Expand the funding of libraries nationwide to ensure all library collections are professionally curated and maintained, ensuring an enriching experience regardless of the school or classroom.
As the national debate prioritizes politics and parental rights, we aim to ensure students are not lost in the conversation. The debate should focus on the needs, experiences, and outcomes of students. We work to assure that specific voices are not being disproportionately amplified, and that all parents who want what's best for their children have their voice heard.
