Dr. Allison Matulli Collaborates with PEN America to Promote First Amendment Education for Children
Dr. Allison Matulli has teamed up with PEN America on a nonpartisan mission to make the First Amendment accessible and engaging for children and families. This collaboration centers around her book, 'We Are Free: Our First Amendment Rights,' which aims to simplify complex constitutional concepts for young readers. The book, which has received a Kirkus Starred Review and a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection, was launched in partnership with the Freedom Forum. Dr. Matulli, a legal scholar, Montessori teacher, and First Amendment advocate, emphasizes the importance of early civic learning, encouraging discussions about fundamental rights within families and communities. The initiative seeks to empower children and adults to understand their collective agency in shaping society through their rights.
