Can you believe that someone tried to get Dr. Seuss' Hop on Pop banned due to concerns about 'violent undertones'? https://t.co/qNlJtJnD4C

@MEM_WIN Not directly. We do refer adult learners to your programs though. Perhaps there are additional partnership opportunities?

@theblerdgurl next time could you share using my personal account, @TroyLWiggins? Thanks!

[Troy at LMS @troyatlms]

@theblerdgurl hi! Thank you for sharing my piece. However, This is my work twitter account and I really try to keep the two separate.

Access to reading was used as a disenfranchisement tool against so many groups! Literacy is a social justice/civil rights issue.

[Troy at LMS @troyatlms]

Literacy is more than just the ability to read. It’s a multi-faceted skill set that can give learners so much agency in their lives.

[Troy at LMS @troyatlms]

That kind of thing just reinforces what I try to communicate to volunteers and the community re: literacy.
