Divisive concepts legislation restricts what teachers say and do, acting as a counterwave to implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. In this article, a collective of educators with diverse identities working in varied  \ncontexts engage in collaborative reflection on the impact of HB 1084 (a censorship policy in Georgia), on their educational practices. We generated vignettes and coded them for the degree to which we reacted with fear, hesitation, and/or resistance. Our responses existed within this set of reactions and were influenced by our identities, constraints/affordances of our contexts, and experiences. Our vignettes expose how the legislation subjected us to a surveillance state that sometimes produced fear and hesitation, especially for those in positions related to preservice teaching. However, resistance was also present in response to the legislation in almost every vignette. Implications emerging from this study include the importance of educators engaging student voices as a form of backup and the necessity of coalition building for critical teaching. Findings suggest policies like HB 1084 undermine culturally relevant, antiracist, justice-centered teaching and are fundamentally regressive to improving the public school system.  \nKeywords: educational legislation; censorship; reflection on practice; resistance; neoliberal policies  \nMiedo, vacilación y resistencia: Las respuestas de los educadores de Georgia a la legislación sobre conceptos divisivos  \nResumen: Los ataques actuales a la teoría crítica de la razón (CRT en inglés) y a la legislación neoliberal contribuyen a socavar la educación pública y la democracia en los Estados Unidos. La legislación sobre conceptos divisivos restringe lo que los docentes dicen y hacen, actuando como una contracorriente a la implementación de iniciativas de diversidad, equidad e inclusión. En este artículo, un colectivo de educadores con identidades diversas que trabajan en contextos variados participan en una reflexión colaborativa sobre el impacto de la HB 1084 (una política de censura en Georgia) en sus prácticas educativas. Generamos viñetas y las codificamos según el grado en que reaccionamos con miedo, vacilación y/o resistencia. Nuestras respuestas existían dentro de este conjunto de reacciones y estaban influenciadas por nuestras identidades, las  \nlimitaciones/posibilidades de nuestros contextos y experiencias. Nuestras viñetas exponen cómola legislación nos sometió a un estado de vigilancia que a veces produjo miedo y vacilación, especialmente para aquellos en puestos relacionados con la docencia en formación. Sin embargo, la resistencia también estuvo presente en respuesta a la legislación en casi todas las viñetas. Las implicaciones que surgen de este estudio incluyen la importancia de que los educadoresincorporen las voces de los estudiantes como una forma de respaldo y la necesidad de formarcoaliciones para una enseñanza crítica.","cbCaipTLmlITUSVg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipTLmlITUSVg","pdf",436086,28,"English","# Abstract\n## Background and purpose\n## Methods and analysis\n## Findings and implications","[{\"question\":\"What issue does the article study regarding Georgia educators?\",\"answer\":\"It studies how educators respond to Georgia’s divisive concepts legislation, focusing on the impact of HB 1084 and its censorship effects on educational practice.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the researchers analyze educators’ reactions?\",\"answer\":\"They generated vignettes from a collective of educators and coded the vignettes according to degrees of fear, hesitation, and/or resistance, shaped by identities and contextual constraints or affordances.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the findings suggest about resistance and policy impact?\",\"answer\":\"Resistance appeared in almost every vignette, even as the legislation sometimes produced fear and hesitation, and the findings conclude that policies like HB 1084 undermine culturally relevant, antiracist, justice-centered teaching.\"}]","Fear, Hesitation, and Resistance - Georgia Educators’Responses to Divisive Concepts Legislation | PDF",1792094384,71]
