BLUF: Tennessee teacher Matthew Hawn faced consequences, including statewide restrictions on teaching, after discussing police shootings and assigning an essay on white supremacy. Similar laws in other states, including Florida and New York, are restricting topics like race, gender identity, and political ideology in schools, reminiscent of a past era of anti-socialism. New York implemented an Americanization plan to enforce loyalty among teachers, but Governor Alfred E. Smith vetoed related bills due to concerns about individual stigmatization.
