Our Mission
Systematic Problems
Problem 1
We expect kids to follow laws that govern our entire society, but we fail to teach them those laws.
Problem 2
7 out of 10 kids do not even think laws apply to kids, and that statistic is even higher for kids in socio-economcally deprived kids. Education is a failed experiment for many kids, especially in largely still segregated Title 1 schools.
Problem 3
Kids are being arrested younger and younger thanks to laws allowing schools to skip the principal's office to call the police. For example, Florida's Baker Act has been used to even arrest black kids in kindergarten.
Problem 4
Kids are never taught laws, which they are expected to follow.
Problem 5
Law is feared by children and adults from all background. For people of color, the trauma can be plainly seen in the Black Lives Matter movement.
Problem 6
Ignorance of the law is NOT a legal defense. Basically, just because you don't know it, does not mean anything. Law still governs all aspects of your life in our society. This includes children.
We are the one stop shop for empowering kids to know law. Our learning games and activities are unique curriculum exciting the little lawyer in every kid!
About Book
YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR POWER: A KID'S GUIDE TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT
A nonpartisan, unbiased look at the First Amendment and how it informs our daily lives, this book clearly explains the fundamentals of American politics to middle grade readers.
The First Amendment grants kids and every other citizen five monster privileges: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the government. If the First Amendment is everywhere in their lives, shouldn’t kids know more about it? Yes!
In Your Freedom, Your Power, middle grade readers get a focused look at their freedoms and rights through the lens of this all-powerful First Amendment. The book engages children in learning more about their country and their rights and responsibilities. Each section will answer key questions readers may have thought about like: Do I have the right to protest at school? Can I be punished at school for something I say on social media? Why can’t I wear whatever I want? Can I text whatever I want? While answering these questions and explaining fundamental legal concepts every kid should know, Your Freedom, Your Power shares the fascinating stories behind some of the most important legal cases and social movements that have affected kids’ lives and rights.
