Community standards

Private group. Thoughtful conversation.

The group exists to make room for educators whose ideas differ, including those who prefer to read before they speak.

Participation without pressure

Members and nonmembers, outspoken and quiet educators, can learn and exchange ideas. Nobody should be required to adopt an ideological position to participate. Debate arguments, not people.

Anonymous-posting limits

Facebook group anonymity may hide a name from ordinary members while platform operators and authorized admins or moderators can have different visibility depending on the feature.
Screenshots can leave a private group. Treat every post as potentially shareable.
Do not ask members to identify a person behind an anonymous post.
Do not submit confidential student, family, medical or personnel information, even through private messages.

Moderation commitments

Allow criticism of unions, school policies and government decisions regardless of viewpoint.
Require sources for consequential factual claims and label opinions as opinions.
Remove threats, targeted harassment, doxxing and identifiable student details.
Offer a way to report a post or request removal.
Do not promise confidential legal counsel; moderators are not acting as attorneys.
