These Indiana advocates will share about current threats to inclusive and secular education, legislative background, the impact on students and communities, and how we can protect students and support teachers on the local level. If you're concerned about school hours bible study programs, ideological and biased curriculum, or bullying and division in schools, you'll want to attend this event! There will be ample time for Q&A included after the presentation, and ways to sign up to stay informed or volunteer to help advocate for our schools. This event is open to the community; families and educators from all local school systems are encouraged to attend!

Who is the Secular Education Association? We are a focused movement of concerned parents, families, community members and tax payers who respect the separation of church and state. We respect each other’s different religions, family values, and parental rights. We love our children. We want them to learn unhindered by religious pressure or coercion.

We are committed to upholding the separation of church and state in public education by providing oversight, information and advocacy to engage our communities. Our goal is to ensure that all children have access to an equitable education, grounded in evidence-based principles, academic integrity and respect for diversity in a secular learning environment.

Trump is ramping up his attacks on our rights and democracy, but we’re not backing down. On October 18, we’re taking to the streets in more cities and in larger numbers to remind Trump, his cronies, and those on the sidelines looking for hope: America has no kings.
