The Boyle County School District in Kentucky quietly quietly banned more than 100 books, citing anti-trans bill SB 150. But a local campaign by students and their peers successfully pushed back.

@ShabanaMir1 @kecia_ali Thanks! I think either chapter 2 (on imams' deaths) or chapter 5 (on their births) might work best. Email me if I can be of any help.

It's awesome to have such great colleagues in Kentucky! @DrArjana
We read her book on Muslims in the Western Imagination in one of my classes last year and the students loved it.

[Dr Arjana ☮️ 🍉 @DrArjana]

The wonderful @MOdesP popped in for a visit today! We share a love of Islamic Studies, good food, and Kentucky. His book on Shiism is a treasure BTW. Read it if you haven’t already!

I was right about Vietnam.

I was right about Iraq.

I will do everything in my power to prevent a war with Iran.

I apologize to no one.

@Ramona_Eve @DanvilleSchools @governorscup Super proud of you! Really amazing!

[Matthew Pierce @MOdesP]

@kecia_ali Teaching a version of this course now. When students complain about how much reading I assign, I always tell them stories of how much @kecia_ali assigned the class when I took it. That course was formative for me. I'm always grateful for that push you gave.

At a moment when our nation needs to hear from leaders who can unite for a common purpose, I am honored to be delivering the Democratic State of the Union response.

Thankful for an insightful meeting with ISPU this morning- they’re doing incredible work to use data to complicate the images of Muslims in the media.
