Happy National School Librarians Day from all of us at Texas Association of School Librarians! #TxASL @TxLA

[Florida Freedom to Read Project @FLFreedomRead]

Yesterday we logged almost 200 challenges- about 150 of those resulted in immediate removals.

This is a picture of all the books removed from one HS library, in one day, in one District, due to the objections of one man.

This is not freedom. #FreeTheBooks

[Chris Tackett (aka See It Name It Fight It) @cjtackett]

Wow! Here is Granbury ISD again showing up in the news. Yet another story that should make everyone question the leadership of the district. And this seems like a doozy.

Guess I’m tuning in to channel 8 at 10pm tonight.

[We Need Diverse Books @diversebooks]

PEN America has compiled a report on book bans in the US—including where it's happening and which books and authors are getting banned the most. It finds a "profound increase... [in bans on] books that relate to communities of color and LGBTQ+ subjects." https://t.co/u6T1ezT1fI

[Texans for the Right to Read @RightToReadTX]

The library, and we cannot stress this enough, is a place of voluntary inquiry; students are not required to read books from the library. Additionally, no book is right for everyone, but one book can make a significant difference in one life. 🙄 #RightToReadTX

[Mrs. Avalos @AvalosEnglish]

Yes! I will say it again, a book is the SAFEST place to experience ANYTHING…drugs, sex, marriage, travel, LGBTQ+, hungry caterpillars, etc. #fREADom #FreedomToRead #IReadBannedBooks #BooksAreNOTGatewayDrugs

[Michelle Cyca @michellecyca]

my parents bought their house in 1976 for $58,000. in 2022 dollars, that would be $279,160.

their 2022 assessment valued the house at $2.09 million.

i don't think getting married at 34 instead of 24 is the reason my generation can't buy homes. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

[Mrs_Coach Callihan @CoachCallihan]

@writerkmc Can’t wait to get my hands on Nothing More to Tell! Always a must read for me!

[Mrs_Coach Callihan @CoachCallihan]

@NicholasFerroni 100% we would be the sacrificial lamb. At the minimum it would be on us to “make it better” even if we are right. Heck, admin discipline is often limited in actually giving consequences to kids as well because of placement issues.

[Mrs_Coach Callihan @CoachCallihan]

@SunshineCityCo1 @JayWamsted The only way it gets better for our profession is to voice it. I will no longer be a martyr for the cause at the expense of my own mental health. Over 40% of teachers take antidepressants because of our jobs according to a recent study. That’s too much.

[Mrs_Coach Callihan @CoachCallihan]

@jeffzentner So glad you were back! Can’t wait to read your latest!

[Mrs_Coach Callihan @CoachCallihan]

When you attend #NTTBF22 then have to add all the authors on social media you heard on panels so you keep up to date with their future books…it’s like making new friends #booknerd #webereading

[Mrs_Coach Callihan @CoachCallihan]

@tomestextiles For real because most arc state somewhere on the cover that they are unedited proofs. 🤨

[Mrs_Coach Callihan @CoachCallihan]

@sabaatahir Just got my copy! Can’t wait to read it!

[Texas A&M Women's Basketball @AggieWBB]

Thank you Coach Blair for being our legend. You elevated women’s basketball and A&M to new heights. We love you so much ❤️

[Dr. Katie Phillips @profkphillips]

It's #WomensHistoryMonth! Day 1 of influential Native women: Tulalip activist Janet McCloud (1934-2003), a key figure in the 1960s "fish-ins" in the Pacific Northwest that led to the monumental 1974 Boldt Decision.
