@javimel3 I couldn’t agree more. It’s heartbreaking to see the attacks on their character and accusations of “grooming” because they love ALL the children they teach. The new laws are an even larger insult! Too many high-quality educators have left the profession 😭

[Renee Burke @rdnburke]

I know it may seem like a long video, but I know sooooo many people who cry daily. They are so burnt out and feel like punching bag for parents and politicians — yet they “stay for the kids.” It’s the dismantling of public education succinctly edited to 7 minutes!

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

From Opinion Video: Educators are quitting their jobs in alarming numbers. Schools are missing hundreds of thousands of staff members, and more than half of educators say they’re thinking of quitting. https://t.co/Q8VuDslYyU

When people want to ban a book, it’s important to learn what they do not want you to see and then question why that is.

“… the free, robust exchange of ideas has always been at the heart of American democracy…”

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, books that shaped my life—and many others—are being challenged in schools, bookstores, and libraries by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. Often, these “banned books” are written by or feature people of color and members of LGBTQ communities.

New Report Details Spread of Book Bans in School Libraries — by those elected to promote and defend public education. “Book challenges impede free expression rights, which must be the bedrock of public schools in an open, inclusive, and democratic society” https://t.co/H1eQifKZ3Y

[Renee Burke @rdnburke]

@PR_Johnson I see what you did there. 😂

[Renee Burke @rdnburke]

This!!👇🏻Schools should embrace the free exchange of ideas. It’s how people grow into educated adults who can function in our diverse world.

In Conroe, TX. You can plan to enlist in the military in the high school cafeteria, but you need your mom's permission to read Catch 22 or Brave New World.

“No book is right for everyone but one book can make a difference in a child’s life. Children, in concert w their parents, should be able to read any books that are appropriate for them-not just books selected by politicians or people outside their family” https://t.co/LUhBNf7Wuw

For many kids, their only access to the magic & wonder of reading is the school library. Please let’s keep them well-stocked, open regularly, & staffed by an actual librarian. RT if you agree.
