TRUCE: Teachers Resisting Unhealthy Children's Entertainment

Teachers Resisting Unhealthy Children's Entertainment is a national group of educators deeply concerned about how children's entertainment and toys are affecting the play and behavior of children in our classrooms.

TRUCE's goals are:

To raise public awareness about the negative effects of violent and stereotyped toys and media on children, families, schools and society.
To work to limit the harmful influence of unhealthy children's entertainment.
To provide children with toys and activities that promote healthy play and non-violent behavior at home and school.
To create a broad-based effort to eliminate marketing to children and to reduce the sale of toys of violence.
To support parents' and teachers' efforts to deal with the issues regarding media.

TRUCE wishes to thank Concerned Educators for a Safe Environment (CEASE), Matt Damon, and Teaching Strategies, Inc. for their generous support.
