@cvmslibrary This is especially incredible considering the funding cuts that left you managing a library for a school this size BY YOURSELF on many days.

Bans come from a vocal minority. 82% of voters believe we need to protect the ability of young people to have access to books from which they can learn about and understand different perspectives and help them grow into adults who can think for themselves. https://t.co/I7dwsHeKC6

Our students deserve us focusing on what's really important - catching up after COVID, preparing for workplace, improving literacy.

These attacks on schools are a distraction from working on what our children really need.

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK. #Uvalde

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

In another email from Williamson County Schools today, school officials said their online reading app, with 40K books, Epic! is under review until next week. The reason?

This book right here. The book is meant for 1 to 4-year-olds, according to Amazon. It's 52 pages.

I love this!!!!!

Thinkin' about starting an Etsy page to make sneaky book jackets for librarians and teachers to dress banned books in. "What? Maus? No. We got rid of that. Too controversial! Can I, however, interest you in this copy of Ratz, by Bart Beagleman?"

[Author Lisa Fipps @AuthorLisaFipps]

Troubled by kids' books about tough topics? Focus on fixing the world so kids don't have to live tough topics - not on banning books. Books are often the only survival guides and therapists kids in crisis have access to. #FReadom

@pernilleripp Commiserating with a student who just finished reading Winger by Andrew Smith. We both cried about a certain something (no spoilers) but agreed we love the book so much.

[Ashley Hope Pérez @ashleyhopeperez]

It is also a concerted attack on public education, an effort to paint your kids' dedicated teachers and librarians as the enemy.

(Parents *actually* worried about pornography ought to make a list of all the places their kids have unsupervised access to the Internet.)

"...removed more than two dozen books from circulation in the district’s school libraries, citing national attention and challenges to the books elsewhere."
*looks directly at the camera* Are you serious?

Reading books is one of the few enjoyable, inexpensive, inexhaustIble activities you can do on your own, in private, without hurting anyone, and somehow we’ve managed to attach all sorts of rules and hangups to it
