Montana lawmakers draft first 2027 bill to curb ‘woke’ teacher conferences: Is this safeguarding education or silencing professional freedom?

The legislation targets professional development during pupil-instruction-related (PIR) days and would allow districts to control conference participation. MFPE and educators argue the recordings cited as evidence lack context and that the conference provides valuable learning. The debate raises questions about safeguarding education versus limiting professional freedom, as the bill prepares for legislative review.
