A guy ran into a classroom at the University of Washington threw up Nazi salutes, yelled a bunch of slurs, then roughly 30 students chased him down, got him arrested.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON STUDENTS DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH NAZIS. THIS IS AN IMAGE OF A YOUNG WOMAN SPAYING PEPPER SPRAY ON A NAZI BOY. HE LOOKS VERY TERRIFIED.

1) Reading is critical to our democracy.
2) Books help us understand complex issues.
3) Parents shouldn’t make decisions for other parents’ children.
4) Youth deserve to see themselves in books.
