An ex-student sent me the most wonderful message a teacher can receive. He told me that I helped him become a reader and impacted his life. On discouraging days, these words will help motivate me ❤️

Had a great time with @MeadowcreekHigh students on our field trip to the @HighMuseumofArt to see O’Keeffe’s NYC works. We’re building those visual analysis skills 😀
As @ACLU demonstrates, access to diverse 📚 is at risk due to 📖bans & "soft bans" born out of teacher & librarian fears. Bans are often focused on📚depicting LGBTQ+ & BlPOC characters. @ALALibrary@NCTE#BannedBooksWeek#UniteAgainstBookBans https://t.co/zt8SHVTV1X
With curriculum and texts curated and controlled, independent reading is even more essential & access to 📚 is vital for students, but censorship is a barrier. As @cicelythegreat shared, librarians are self-censoring their shelves. @ALALibrary@NCTE#BannedBooksWeek
There is something truly wrong when we control and ban books but not guns.

@plthomasEdD I feel this. Online, constantly updated grad books also erode learning too. It’s impacting the parents and classroom culture. https://t.co/QBpoCH6FZk
