“Taking books away from kids and schools does not protect our children — it erases many of the stories and voices that do.”

Here is Mr. Walz. Before all this, he taught students social studies. He taught students history. He taught students critical thinking. Teachers are the best of us.

😱 When Kamala Harris is elected President, Inauguration Day falls on MLK Jr Day in 2025 & she’ll be sworn in by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

So the 1st Black woman Supreme Court justice will swear in the 1st Black woman President on MLK day?! 🫨🥲💙🔥🇺�

Today, we received our last shipment of the year because when your school supports the school library, you are able to get over 650 books for the students to enjoy while also updating the collection age!

All of @GailJarrow books are fascinating to read and ponder. No doubt this one will be, too. Can’t wait!!

There are some books that never make it to the TBR pile. They must be read immediately. #Ferris is one of those. Every story (from @KateDiCamillo) is a love story. @Candlewick

“The books that make you uncomfortable are the books that make you think. Isn't that what school is supposed to do? It's supposed to make you think?”

Grateful every day for the teachers and librarians fighting to protect the freedom to read in Texas. 🍎
