Exactly a decade after Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Rankin/Bass created a cult classic Christmas special, The Year Without a Santa Claus.This 1974 ABC Christmas special is famous for the Miser Bros but there's a bit more to the story than their sibling rivalry. Here we go...

I am among those suing the state of Florida to end the state's unconstitutional and deeply unamerican banning of books. The removal of my books (and so many others) from hundreds of libraries is a despicable attack on intellectual freedom in the U.S. https://t.co/W3C2P0tE85

PSA: 📣

[Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman @LtGovColeman]

Kentucky courts have consistently ruled that state tax dollars must remain in public schools.

HB2 would overturn SEVEN sections of the constitution just to fund unaccountable private schools.

This would devastate public education, and it would break our rural school districts.

@CallowayforKy @CandyMassaroni @robbystarbuck Please go visit an actual school and witness SEL in action. I can say with full confidence that SEL helps our elem kids be in control of their own actions & how they respond to overwhelming situations/emotions. I witness kids use awesome strategies from our counselor everyday.

UPDATE - SB232 - Thank you for supporting school libraries and librarians. #KyLibraries #KyReads

[KASL @KASL_Librarians]

SB232 threatens to undo crucial educational support by removing the requirement for certified school librarians in KY schools. This will damage student reading achievement, limit information literacy, and hinder digital citizenship skills. No to SB232. #KyLibraries

We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

Kentucky's future grows brighter every day because of our public schools and our public school educators. But we can't be No. 1 in economic growth as long as we're No. 44 in starting teacher pay.

Let's pay our teachers what they're worth.

Educational intimidation bills, even if not passed, scare educators and school librarians into removing books, @jonfreadom, director of free expression and education programs at PEN America, tells Axios.

My reply to the board members of @FishersIN and @NoblesvilleIN seeking to remove my books (and over a hundred others) from the young adult literature shelves in their libraries. Heartbreaking for this to happen in Central Indiana, where I live and strive to support.

New school library legislation would fight back against disinvestment and censorship in our school libraries! Join me in telling Congress to support the Right to Read Act, introduced by @SenJackReed and @RepRaulGrijalva. https://t.co/zSMckgGWCN @KASL_Librarians @JoinKLA

[Danielle Padgett @dannyrae567]

Wonderful thread — Use your local library people!!!!

[TXFReadomFighters @FReadomFighters]

Polls continue to show the majority of Americans oppose book bans and want to choose for their own children. Legislators and school districts should listen.

[KY Library Association @JoinKLA]

All hands on deck. If you're a librarian, a teacher, a parent, a student, a principal, or any one else who supports #FReadom & opposes censorship within school libraries, contact your KY rep & join the campaign:
