How do democratic principles apply to the teaching profession? How can teachers help students develop the skills to address divergent views on controversial issues such as abortion, capital punishment, and LGBTQ2S+ rights? How far should we extend religious freedoms? How can we talk about the conflict between free speech and hate speech? How we discuss these issues in class? If we avoid them, what message do we send to students? If we open the debate, how do we facilitate respectful discussion?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Teaching Civil Liberties program facilitates free, interactive workshops that provide teachers and teacher candidates the tools to empower their students to think critically about and discuss issues for which there can be no perfect solution, and to actively seek out views that differ from their own.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through CCLET\u2019s interactive workshops, teachers and teacher candidates are encouraged to examine conflicts and controversies for which there can be no perfect solutions – and to actively seek out views that differ from their own. How do we address divergent views on issues such as abortion, capital punishment, LGBTQ rights, creationism and evolution? How far should we extend religious freedom?

If we open the debate, what risks to we take?<\/p>\n
