@nikkigrimes9 So very sorry for this devastating loss.

@WillieETCarver From our district (not my ideas)
1. If you’re teaching concepts, then you can teach them using any book a student might choose.
2. We are in a war against books. Our teachers can’t have students read ANYTHING that any one person MIGHT find offensive. Free choice protects them.

@JasStanford @JaredLPatterson He doesn’t actually read books, he just works to ban them.

@TasslynM @FReadomFighters @jonfreadom @penguinrandom @PENamerica @neilhimself Black Holes & Baby Universes, as well as Liar, temptress, Soldier, Spy are definitely not back in their catalogs.

@FReadomFighters @Freedom2readem @jonfreadom @penguinrandom @PENamerica @neilhimself My son was 18 for entirety of his senior year. Like many. Free range reading allows young people to develop into the creative wonderful inquisitive and amazing adults they are supposed to be. Frisco ISD should be supporting young adults - who are nearly adults - not harming them.

@NickAdamsinUSA So pro God, that he thinks he IS God.

@EllenHopkinsLit @NBCNews If you’re interested in learning more about this topic, there’s a recent documentary on YouTube called “Deep in the Pockets”. As someone living through this hell, it’s terrifying.

@BannedBooksWeek @FReadomFighters Bc “community” isn’t limited only to the groups directly affected. One instance of censorship affects ALL, either directly or indirectly. It stifles already-underrepresented voices, ideas, & experiences, which in turn, breeds ignorance and a lack of empathy. #BannedBooksChat

@Dandris21771970 A real-world example of the same kind of language would be when a venue states that only clear bags are allowed. Therefore, we would say regular purses are "banned". It doesn't mean we can't have them somewhere else, it just means they aren't allowed in that particular space. 2/2

@Dandris21771970 According the the American Library Association, a book that has been removed from the shelves and can no longer be made available in the school library, is the very definition of a "Banned Book". 🧵 1/2

[Freedom 2readem @Freedom2readem]

@Historycourses 3/3 So, if the aforementioned books were indeed removed and no longer allowed on campus, it does meet both the ALAs definition as well as the general public's definition of "banned".

@fyve_hole @ValeScribbles @kurteichenwald For example, on my campus, earbuds are banned. We can’t provide them, & students aren’t supposed to have them. Just bc earbuds are available at the Walmart across the street or bc our public library loans them out, doesn’t mean they aren’t banned on our campus. They are.

[Freedom 2readem @Freedom2readem]

@fyve_hole @ValeScribbles @kurteichenwald Just bc something is available elsewhere, doesn’t mean it isn’t banned. If the librarian had to remove it from the shelf & is not allowed to provide that material in the future, then it meets ALA’s definition of “banned”. The item is banned from being provided in that space. 1/2
