TRUCE

TRUCE LogoTeachers 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.
