Love hearing of a church leader supporting high school kids' right to read. Religious leaders modeling respect for others. journalinquirer.com/towns/enfield/…

It's really disturbing that Frisco ISD found that The Bluest Eye "contains obscene content." I think Frisco and many other districts need to understand the difference between "obscene" and mature. Sexual assault is not "obscene" - it is a violent crime. 1/2

Sloppy use of language like this both condones the work of censors and adopts the triggering language of political groups rather than legal definitions of words. Calling works "obscene" that are not casts aspersions. Districts need to be mindful of the terms used. 2/2

This. One tactic you can take to fight censorship in your district is challenge the labeling terminology.

"Orange you glad for the FReadom to read?" Make your own orange video and remember to donate to groups defending our kids' access to books. ⬇️⬇️😆

Something for everyone! Thanks for compiling this list of opportunities to speak to Tx legislators about issues you care about. @AccessRRISD

Librarians follow district policies to select materials that represent a wide range of views on controversial issues. Building well-rounded libraries is part of our jobs.

#BenCrump just laid down the line on AP Black History at the #NAACPAwards tonight. Black history is our history.

While some politicians try to erase any mention of #LGBTQ+ people and our histories by banning books in schools, we will NOT be silenced. 🗣️ For this National Read Across America Day, here are 8 books that spotlight LGBTQ+ youth and their stories. 🌈

For those working on school board issues, @campaignfuture is offering lunch and learns to help organize, be a better advocate, hold phone banks, etc. campaignsharedfuture.org/action

This constant idea that Jared Patterson keeps conveying that libraries are full of sexually "explicit" materials. Um, they aren't, given his own definition of explicit IN THE BILL. James Talarico

Jared Patterson misses the logic here. So - these books are award winning books. And schools want award winning books. But in today's climate, award winning books are sexually explicit. #hb900

I don't know what these #txlege members like Jared Patterson think high school students read. #HB900

He seems to misunderstand the use of the word public. Also the word "indoctrination." And the word democracy.

Are you a mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandparent, sibling of a Tx teacher, this task is for you! ⬇️

It's #RightToRead Day! We're joining Unite Against Book Bans in calling on readers, advocates, and library lovers to fight back against censorship in a national day of action to defend, protect, and celebrate your right to read freely. Here's how you can get involved 👇 #FreedomToLearn

Tell us one action you've done today for National Right to Read Day of Action. Let's hold each other accountable. Reply here! #NationalLibraryWeek #DayofAction

Book bans are unconstitutional. Students deserve to read books that reflect experiences, genders, and races as diverse as they are. yahoo.com/lifestyle/aclu…

Hope that ACLU of Texas Equality Texas Paulo Esteves Nunes ⚡️ or AbaBooklub will be suing. ABA because of the impossible tasks, others because of possibilities of discriminatory censorship. The Washington Post article today has good receipts for why.
