Abstract
Forty-four states have recently taken formal policy steps to limit how teachers can teach about so-called “divisive issues.” This paper examines teachers’ perceptions of what they need to be prepared to teach in states where “divisive issues” legislation exists. Teacher interview data where restrictive legislation exists were used to explore what inservice teachers need to teach within the constraints of states’ divisive issues legislation, and what teacher preparation programs should focus on when preparing new teachers to do the same. Analysis revealed, among other things, that all feel they need clear guidance from their district, and better training.
