Mental health services should be the number one priority of all educators. I’m very disappointed to learn that @BurlesonISD has discontinued their partnership with @CISNational.

@CMSColtsLibrary I need that big sorry!!

@MissDahlELama By the time the books would come out, the slang would be old and cringe worthy.

While most of the reporting has centered on what's been removed or challenged, a reminder that WHEN districts FOLLOW their book committee policies, MANY times, books stay on the shelves for kids.

Advocating for your district to follow their policies is vitally important.

@NowhereBookshop @TBABooks @TXLA @poetweatherford It was banned in our district for an “insinuated rape” scene…. Yeah, ok, I believe that’s the real reason.

[American Library Association @ALALibrary]

Full-page ad this morning in the NYT. We are proud to stand with @AFTunion — along with @glaad, @NAACP, @ncte, @penamerica, @PFLAG, @RedWineBlueUSA and so many other great organizations — to oppose book banning.

PSA- They can’t remove a book from a school Library shelf and claim that it’s not banned because it’s still available online, at a bookstore, at the public library. Many students cannot access any of these options. Inaccessibility is banning. And they know it.📚🛑

@erinentrada The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise @DanGemeinhart

[Wendy Lastovica @lastoLibrary]

I started this beautiful novel by @EmoOcean yesterday and I’m already half way through and I don’t wanna keep going because I don’t want it to end and I love and hate this moment.

[Wendy Lastovica @lastoLibrary]

@mrronclark_ @mrronclark_ lost my respect when he called out and embarrassed a woman in front of an entire gymnasium of adults because she was on her cell phone instead of listening to his paid “inspirational” speech. If he does this to adults, how does he treat the kids?

[TXFReadomFighters @FReadomFighters]

Irresponsible to imply to kids that books are dangerous or forbidden. This is all completely out of control. Only we as educators and parents can change it. Get involved.

[Unite Against Book Bans @UABookBans]

Bans come from a vocal minority. 82% of voters believe we need to protect the ability of young people to have access to books from which they can learn about and understand different perspectives and help them grow into adults who can think for themselves. https://t.co/I7dwsHeKC6

@CKenderEDU Yes!

[TXFReadomFighters @FReadomFighters]

To those districts changing policies to placate small groups, please understand these attacks are politically motivated. Anything that you do will "never be enough" because what they are after is to win an election and to sow distrust. Caving into censorship will not stop them.

[TXFReadomFighters @FReadomFighters]

We are seeing an alarming increase in internal censorship by school districts around Texas. Librarians are being asked to commit educational malpractice and restrict access. Reminder, districts CAN choose to employ best practices and not succumb to censorship efforts. 1/2

[TXFReadomFighters @FReadomFighters]

Unbelievable. Madison County Mississippi school requiring parental "consent" for these award winning titles. Notice something most of them have in common? #FReadom @penamerica https://t.co/VizF8hQSXK via @clarionledger
