Support the establishment of a Center to combat and eradicate racism.
CBAP™ is an independent alumni group that has coalesced to support the call for and establishment of a center that institutionalizes the University’s commitment to combat and eradicate racism.
Our work is strengthened through collaboration with affinity groups, and we work through consensus-building to organize around the idea that diverse experiences, views, and skills are indispensable to understand different needs and create sustainable change.
Book Bans, Censorship Bills and Defending the Right to Learn
with Emerson Sykes and Dr. Destiny Crocket, PhDThere is currently an ongoing struggle between different ideological groups over the content and direction of public education in the United States. For instance, book banning in the United States has seen a significant rise. Additionally, 17 states have introduced bills to restrict how teachers can discuss American history and current events, aiming to suppress what they term "divisive concepts.”
These issues have sparked debates about free speech and educational equity. Join Emerson Sykes *11, staff attorney with the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, and Dr. Destiny Crockett '17, Mellon Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow in Childhood Studies and Racial Justice at Rutgers University, as we explore the anti-public education movement, book bans and the threat to free speech.
