Evergreen story plug: As school districts continue to remove or restrict books — like "Walk Two Moon" and "Maus" — let's revisit some of the real consequences of banning books.

Hint: They can include negatively affecting student achievement.

A Critical Question:

How did Hitler convince so many people that it was in their best interest to capture and terminate their neighbors?

We must know how the Holocaust happened and remember by rejecting the ideologies, rhetoric and actions of the horror.

#OnThisDay 77 years ago, Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet troops.

The Germans established the Auschwitz camp complex in the spring of 1940 in German-occupied Poland. By the time the Soviets arrived, about 1.1 million people had been murdered there. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

The dumbest part of this statement is describing the Holocaust as “shameful beyond description.” That is the whole point of books like Maus (and films, and art) - to describe it, and convey it, so no one ever forgets. These people.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. There is a wave of book banning across the nation.

2/2 Teaching about the Holocaust using books like Maus can inspire students to think critically about the past and their own roles and responsibilities today. For those looking to teach about the Holocaust, find lesson plans and resources here: https://t.co/CNgiVIzUMP

1/ Maus has played a vital role in educating about the Holocaust through sharing detailed and personal experiences of victims and survivors. On the eve of International #HolocaustRemembranceDay, it is more important than ever for students to learn this history.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

NEW: The MCMINN COUNTY school board has just BANNED “MAUS”, the Pulitzer-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust — citing 8 curse words and an illustration of a woman that was objected to, with a 10-0 vote.

.@TorreyHarris901, the only out gay black legislator in Tennessee, just had his district completely eliminated by the @tnhousegop supermajority’s new map. https://t.co/GlXQXIKYuS

[Representative Ajay Pittman @repajaypittman]

@RepLamar @TorreyHarris901 This is not how the redistricting process is supposed to go. It is not supposed to remove representation from communities.

"If you worked 40 hr/week at the minimum wage, how long would it take to earn Jeff Bezos’ wealth? It would take 12 million years. That’s about 50x as long as our species has existed. It’s grotesque inequality that is impossible to justify." - @MauriceWFP, #WFPAssembly
