First time checking out library books for these kindergartners in @KDLSalamanca class. Lots of smiling faces! #112leads#welovebooks @redoakschool #D112teachers
Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
Illinois has banned book bans. Gov. Pritzker signed into law a bill that requires libraries to adopt ALA’s Library Bill of Rights, which states that “materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.” #bannedbooks https://t.co/Nrq7qbzIZO
The venom and violence of antisemitism will not be the story of our time.
Today, I'm releasing the most ambitious and comprehensive U.S. government-led effort to combat antisemitism in history.
Allow me to lay it out:
The rise of antisemitic attacks should alarm all of us. Antisemitism and bigotry - like all forms of hate - have no place in our world, and it’s on each of us to combat this growing threat. @POTUS is right to take on this issue, and he deserves our support. https://t.co/HY5xrpnS2g
