THREE GREAT BADGER FORUMS
May 9, June 6, and June 20

FORUM: Book Bans and Parents' Rights. Who Decides?

In recent elections, classroom curriculum and library books regarding Critical Race Theory, U.S. history and gender issues have taken center stage. Some states have limited classroom and library content; others work to maintain them. This Thursday's Badger Forum will address these issues and much more. The program will feature the perspectives of four local panelists: two school board members who hold very opposite views and two local parent-activists.

Join us for what should prove to be an enlightening and lively program. Table Talk will follow.
