Our students shouldn't be political pawns. Nor should well-trained, well-respected librarians who just want to help students read books that matter to them.

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.

Absurdity - if libraries were really trying to "indoctrinate" students, would they really buy a few books and make them voluntary reading and then put them within a collection of 15,000 other books? Most inefficient method ever.

Ya'll got me thinking about coloring and bookmarks, so I jumped onto Canva and made a double-side-printable set of color-your-own mandala bookmarks; & the back has space for "Books I Want to Check Out"! Here's the template if you want to use or modify: canva.com/design/DAFPP91VM78…

This is the reaction we get anytime we ask @GovBillLee why we’re behind Alabama in public education funding.
When I’m governor, we’ll beat Alabama on and off the field. #GBO – at Nashville, TN

📚WATCH: “Do you feel like there should be some kind of prosecution for these librarians?”
In May, Coty Wamp made it clear prosecuting librarians is on the table, and said she brought Moms for Liberty to meet the sheriff.
She was just elected Hamilton County DA. @NoogaHoller
