Texas Police pepper-sprayed and TASED Little Elm high school students who were protesting their school’s handling of sexual assault! This is ridiculous! These students were standing up for what is RIGHT. This excessive police response is disgusting.

Books with queer content aren't inappropriate or pornographic. They're books. Books belong in classroom and school libraries. If a parent does not want his/her/their child to read a book, fine. But that parent has no right -- no right -- to say other kids cannot read those books.

A lesson I taught today. 😎

“There is nothing controversial or problematic about being a member of the LGBTQ community. Rather, the problem is ideologies that perpetuate harm against LGBTQ people and frame their existence as something that must be erased.” #BannedBooksWeek
