This is the sweetest thread. Cousin Barbara is a gem!

One of my ed program grad students said “This class has softened my heart.” She explained that now she thinks about why students might act out & what else might be going on.

“This class has softened my heart” is the best compliment I could receive. Is there a CV line for that?

4 more free covid tests are available through covid.gov/tests starting today!! I signed up my entire family as well as my entire apartment building lol. All you need is someone's name and address.

Thrilled to hear Renée Watson speak at ALAN this morning. About students she reminded us, “They are someone’s best thing.” She also reminded us that we “build the future & invest in a million tomorrows.” #ALAN23

So grateful for good friends who take presentation photos because I always forget.

My favorite thing about supervising student teachers is interacting with random middle schoolers. Today I met a kid who told me at least 20 facts about themself in less than 1 minute.

So excited to announce I will be at #AERA2024 in April!

This grifter always says the quiet part out loud for those too dumb to read between the lines.

He created the CRT panic. Now he’s working to connect terrorists to academia.

Share this. Put it on all your socials. He did it once. I’m positive he can do it again.

“The freedom to read is under attack in this country...the coordinated censorship efforts we've seen on school libraries are now increasingly targeting public libraries.”

'Books, even bad ones, let you live another life for a few hundred pages. They let you walk in the souls of people you may never meet and connect you in ways you might not expect. And that frightens a lot of people.' Brian Lyman

#BannedBooksWeek

Book bans in America are more widespread than ever. They must be stopped. We've teamed up with Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚, Freedom to Read Foundation, & PEN America on #TheBannedWagon : A Vehicle for Change. It's road-tripping through the South this #BannedBooksWeek (Oct 1-7). Learn more: bit.ly/3t0Iv9U

“What bothers me about book banning the most is the message it sends. It tells young people, ‘Your life makes me uncomfortable. Nobody should hear about it. You should be silent.’”— Angie Thomas #BannedBooksWeek americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2023/05/01/new…

Promotional tools for #BannedBooksWeek are available on the ALA website bit.ly/3nRq8zL
