Let's take a moment to talk about this. There is a full-throated purge effort going on here by the far-right that we have not seen for decades. They are on a boycott binge and cancel crusade, trying to eliminate the existence of minority communities. Burning Flags. Banning

“Almost 60 percent of K-12 parents polled said they oppose book bans from school boards, and two-thirds said they oppose state lawmakers’ bans.” A small govt solution to respect parents’ rights: allow parents to set individual restrictions for their child thehill.com/homenews/educa…

This is extraordinarily important. This is exactly what is happening. I might go a step further - there is another vision of what American means and that is what is happening with each book removal, each erasure of a story someone says - you don't belong. We don't represent you.

“We are angry. We are frustrated. We are insulted; our degree, required by the state, means less than one parent’s right to choose. They will now mandate what is selected based on their biased personal beliefs, and not our professional degrees.” publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/ch…

DEEP Admiration for @ElanaKArnold words last night - and everyday. Particularly - that these works have value.

Moms 4 Liberty, the group behind book bans, is literally quoting Adolf Hitler. When people tell you who they are, believe them. Help us fight back. action.everylibrary.org/donatebanning

😳😳😳 Defense of Democracy

There are laws that promise “transparency” in education, but enable misinformation. The FLDOE & Gov are pretending to collect & inform the public on all school censorship, but they are only asking for & sharing the data that supports their narrative.
