Indiana’s Educational Gag-Order Bill Isn’t About Curriculum. It’s About Control.

Granted, we’ve experienced a plethora of “what the fuck” moments as educators over the past couple of years, but this new Indiana House Bill 1134, which is requiring teachers to submit a full year’s worth of lesson plans in the summertime and post curricular information on their school’s website for the public to view, may take the cake.  With regard to this bill, I’m not even tripping about the posting of curricular information because I believe that transparency is important when it comes to informing parents about what their children are learning. Frankly, the most infuriating issue for me is the mandated submission of lesson plans before the start of the school year and, furthermore, the blatant lack of trust and irrational questioning of our professional integrity as educators from individuals who have never lived this educator life.
