Defending Education works to foster an educational environment free from discrimination and political agendas—one that protects First Amendment freedoms, promotes equal opportunity, and encourages the free exchange of ideas
Who We Are
Defending Education is a national grassroots organization working to restore free speech and the free exchange of ideas across K-12 and higher education while keeping political ideology and activism out of our schools. Through network and coalition building, investigative reporting, litigation, and engagement, we fight indoctrination and activism in classrooms and on campus to promote the reestablishment of a quality, non-political education for all students.
Our Work By the Numbers
Our research and investigations, agency complaints, lawsuits, and commentary seek to uncover the truth about what’s happening in our schools—and help drive solutions.
