This organization's mission is to promote freedom of thought, inquiry and expression and oppose censorship in all its forms. They have several foci: arts, higher education, right to read, youth expression. NCAC discusses 16 issues (e.g., Internet, music, sexuality, religion, hate speech, etc.), and notes recent cases for each. The site also provides resources/toolkits on first amendment rights, LGBTQ right to read, challenged books, etc. This is a good centralized collection on intellectual freedom, including censorship. Teachers and students can use it independently and also as discussion starters.
