Let's make this the new universal book challenge policy:
Parents have every right to restrict what their own children are allowed to read. They have zero right to make those decisions for anyone else's kids. Ever.
@kelseybogan I read Galaxy the Prettiest Star and Tell No Tales in February. I read Washington's Gay General in March, had great art work and learned a lot about Baron Von Stuben!
Republicans and Democrats, get together on this one thing: Letβs stop book banning. What a terrible disgrace is happening in the United States. Librarians are being fired for refusing to ban books. Thatβs not the way to make America great again. Just the opposite. Reading the books we want to read is one of our freedoms. Choosing the books our kids should read is also a freedom. If your kids bring home a book from the library that you have problems with, you absolutely have the right to talk it out with themβyouβre the parent. In the meantime, read Toni Morrison, read @jodipicoult, read @johngreen. Hell, read my good friend @StephenKing. Thatβs your right.
@kelseybogan Honestly it's probably lobbyists and cost/innovation. Fireworks companies probably lobby and newer methods, drones/lasers aren't big enough to take over the market.
@LibraryBabbitt What does your employee handbook say? (If you have one) An hour and a half is a lot. You deserve to be compensated for the work. Comp the time the next week or some other time, if you can.
@AngelaLovesNY I'm sorry these nuts have it out for your books and your staff. Sending hugs. The bigot here did NOT get elected to the school board, so I hope that means there's hope! β€οΈβ€οΈ
@CamillaPanda My new response to all unnecessary and inappropriate comments is "take your bigoted attitude home. You don't know what you're talking about." This shuts folks down pretty quickly.
Also you're beautiful and healthy β€οΈβ€οΈ
