Parents and teachers were shocked after an Indiana state senator introduced a bill requiring that teachers remain neutral when teaching about Nazism. And in less than two days, a coalition to defeat the bill was born.
"Within 36 hours, we had organized over a dozen community members and partners to testify against the bill," Jennifer Smith-Margraf, the vice president of the Indiana State Teachers Association, told CNN in March.Members of the Indiana community spoke at hearings, met with legislators and posted on social media to speak out against Sen. Scott Baldwin's support of Senate Bill 167.
"We had nearly 200 speakers signed up to testify against the bill -- members and community partners," Margraf said."The Senate Education Committee limited testimony on the bill during that hearing to just over 2 hours, so only 20 some of the folks signed up to testify were called to speak." The coalition represented a variety of views. Wolley, who is a parent, told CNN that he could not imagine letting his son go through a system"where teaching is impartial.
