Critics Slam NBC News For Suggesting School Curriculum Transparency Would Lead To Censorship
< < Go Back
NBC News faced backlash over a report that it published this week that sought to paint those who want transparency in what their children are taught as “conservative activists” who pose a threat to free speech.
“Conservative activists want schools to post lesson plans online, but free speech advocates warn such policies could lead to more censorship in K-12 schools,” NBC News said in a tweet that included a link to the article.
“Some conservative activists say the effort — which has come under fire from Democrats, teachers and civil liberties advocates — is a potent strategic move to expose and root out progressive ideas from schools,” NBC News reported. “But teachers, their unions and free speech advocates say the proposals would excessively scrutinize daily classwork and would lead teachers to pre-emptively pull potentially contentious materials to avoid drawing criticism.”
