Hate is not a personality. It is curriculum. It gets taught at dinner tables, on cable news, in group chats, and in “concerned parent” speeches that are really just panic with a microphone. And lately, it has been showing up with a lesson plan. Sanitized history. Manufactured outrage. Policies that target kids who are already dealing with enough. We made the embroidered "Stop Teaching Hate" hat for people who are tired of watching bigotry get dressed up as “values” and shipped into schools like it belongs there.

The message is blunt: STOP TEACHING HATE. Big block letters, stitched to be readable from across a room, because the harm is never subtle. This is anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-hate wear that refuses the fake neutrality game. When someone tries to ban books about race, gender, immigration, or basic human dignity, that is not “protecting children.” That is teaching fear. When someone demands that teachers pretend certain people do not exist, that is not education. That is erasure with a budget.

This hat is for the people who show up anyway. The ones who read the agenda before the meeting and bring receipts. The ones who support educators instead of treating them like enemies. The ones who want kids to learn how to think, not what to hate. Wear it to school board meetings where dog whistles get called “concerns.” Wear it to protests, marches, and mutual aid events. Wear it on the days you are just living your life and still refusing to let the loudest bigot set the tone.

Available in various colors as a snapback, dad hat, trucker, classic 5-panel, and knit beanie, this is built to fit your world and your weather. The point is not to look tough. The point is to look clear. To signal safety to the people being targeted, and to signal pushback to the people trying to normalize cruelty.

If someone asks what it means, tell them the truth: hate is taught. It can be untaught. Start there.
