Thank you, Mr. President. Many of the books being challenged now helped shape my thinking and informed me of different perspectives. I am proud to be a school librarian.

And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
We say gay. We read banned books. And we will continue to defend our students’ freedom to learn and educators’ freedom to teach. https://t.co/vnNIbMxHWB
