Responsible Parents and Caregivers Are Advocating for Inclusive Schools

Most parents and caregivers support inclusive education based on credible, research-based pedagogy that values the well-being of all students. However, as Maya Henson Carey of the SPLC's Intelligence Project points out: “An artificial division between parents and educators is being exploited to advance the harmful agendas of political groups attacking inclusive learning in public schools to the detriment of young people’s well-being and education.” These LFJ resources explore how responsible parents and caregivers are focusing on children’s right to inclusive and equitable education to counter politically motivated “parents’ rights” groups with discriminatory agendas.
