⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

**Liberty and Learning: Academic Freedom for Teachers and Students** – David Moshman & ReLeah Cossett Lent

A short, sharp, essential read. Moshman redefines academic freedom as **intellectual freedom in educational contexts**, built on five non-negotiable principles:

• Freedom of belief & identity
• Freedom of expression & discussion
• Freedom of inquiry
• Freedom from indoctrination
• Equality, privacy, due process

These principles cut through today’s hottest school controversies (evolution, sex ed, book bans, pronouns, canon debates) and give teachers, admins, parents, and students a clear, fair framework that actually protects real learning.

As ReLeah Lent says:
> “I strongly encourage… districts, and state boards… to read this book together… [it] will lay the foundation for a new era in academic freedom.”

In an age of censorship from all sides, this book is the antidote. Every educator needs it—now.
