I've spent a good portion of my life on campuses, in classrooms, and in libraries. If history or education never make you uncomfortable, you need to reevaluate where and how you're learning. (via Fresh Air) npr.org/2023/08/22/119…

In this video, Reynolds discusses Stuntboy, and also shares his thoughts on Literature vs. Literacy, book bans, and what superpower he'd want to have (it's unexpected and perfect).

Hey *public* librarians--I'm hearing stories of youth librarians now getting their emails FOIAd by extremists. They're asking for emails, contact info, and credentials of those who purchase materials for young people.

You might want to lock down ASAP.

On this day in 1960, hundreds of white people armed with baseball bats and ax handles attacked Black activists for staging a peaceful sit-in at a 'whites only' restaurant in Jacksonville, FL. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-injusti…

We have districts where one or two ideologues armed with megaphones and rich donors are overriding school librarians and educators with decades of experience.
We can’t let it happen.

There aren’t “two sides” when one group fights for all people’s right to be who they are and love who they love, and the other murders folks for flying a flag representing that inclusion.

There’s only justice or bigotry. And it’s very clear where God calls us to be.

School districts call the Arkansas Department of Education’s bluff: Despite a last-minute maneuver to defund and discredit AP African American Studies, every school that had planned to offer the class will continue to do so. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…

In today's book banning news, the same New York school district that assigned The 57 Bus as summer reading wants to remove it from the curriculum. The vote is Monday. If you live in Galway, NY, perhaps you'd like to weigh in.

“If you just don’t want it for your one child, that’s parenting, but if you are trying to limit the access for other people’s children without a robust understanding of what they want, to me that is censorship.” ⁦Jessica Vaughn
