You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. #englishteacher #independentreading

Protests aren't meant to make you comfortable or uphold the status quo.

That's why it's a protest.

Real change requires protest to highlight a problem, and politics to implement practical solutions and laws. As I mentioned yesterday in our @MBK_Alliance town hall, there are several steps our mayors and elected officials can take right now:

I'm using this reading challenge to read the new @ProjectLITComm novels, and I hope everyone will do the same.

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv

Nancy Drew was my first love as a reader. Many happy days were spent in company with Nancy, Bess, and George solving crimes and saving the day. Happy Birthday, Nancy! #NancyDrew #nancydrew90

When you become so engrossed in a book you feel you are a part of its reality, you recommend it. Can’t wait to add this to my class library! @Abdaddy #LGBTQ #YAFiction #Read #YALit #IReadYA #books #whattoread
