I have posted this before but ..
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.
My books, “New Kid” & “Class Act,” have NO sex, NO cursing, NO gangs, NO drugs, NO guns, NO anti police messages… and once I heard that some readers don’t like “OMG” I changed it to “Ohmygoodness.” Can you explain to ME why they are still some of the most banned books in the US?
Please read this. A child expresses themselves, tells their truth in a poem, and adults ridicule the child to protect their truth, which is to lie about how their truth makes this kid’s truth a painful reality. Sheesh. Smh.
