Actor and activist LeVar Burton was on The 11th Hour to discuss the book bans that we’re currently facing in the U.S. He said the unprecedented increase is “alarming,” but it has an upside: It’s forcing us to talk about who we want to be as a nation. https://t.co/TIOgz4Khl5

Bestselling author Jason Reynolds’ new children’s book was inspired by a photo of people dancing in a library, celebrating Langston Hughes.

He hopes the story encourages children to see the library as “a place for freedom.”

Reading from my banned books all week long. (A little late due to flood). Educators: What did you find valuable about teaching RED AT THE BONE? What can students gain from reading it? Comment/DM your role and school/district. I’d love to hear from you. #BannedBooksWeek

#YomKippur, known as the Day of Atonement, is a time of deep reflection and spiritual renewal in the Jewish tradition. It is a time for fasting, prayer, and fostering inner peace.

MSDE wishes everyone observing Yom Kippur a meaningful day of personal growth and forgiveness.
