@SHamptonSD735 Amazing. So glad you are giving them these opportunities.

@BenisonMrs @DoctorSam7 Interesting how so many of the books shared on that thread are old, only a handful center non dominant identities, and some are downright problematic (eg Skippyjon Jones). Just an interesting observation….

@JoEllenMcCarthy @LEEandLOW @TheEdCollab Ready to be involved with the fight in every way I can. Thanks for sharing these resources.

With the record-high attempts at book banning, it's important for educators to arm themselves with research & resources to "Take Action." @LEEandLOW https://t.co/0ZtQF4fwZB
