Thanks for sharing, Pat. That was a good interview.

MADVoters @madvoters.bsky.social · 2d

Hoosiers deserve better. Our children deserve a strong education that gives them the tools to think critically not be kept in the dark by disinformation.

Banned Books Week is about celebrating the freedom to read and committing to the fight against censorship.
Here in Indiana, our Republican supermajority has made it easy for extremist groups to impose their small-minded views on schools and public libraries, controlling what we can read.

The books on this list are best-sellers with literary merit, but thanks to extremist, pearl-clutching school board members emboldened by an equally pearl-clutching legislature, books are getting banned, classrooms censored, and policy-makers - not parents - are determining which books kids can read.

We’re kicking off Banned Books Week with a feature on Indiana’s own banned books.

Last month, the Garrett-Keyser-Butler school board banned 6 books:

❌ The Handmaid’s Tale
❌ A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder
❌ I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
❌ A Thousand Splendid Suns
❌ Forrest Gump
❌ Brave New World

Even as state lawmakers said they needed to cut government spending, they gave millions more to the religious private school voucher program, which has been proven to disproportionately benefit wealthier families at the expense of everyone else.

Indiana families face uncertainty as funding cuts threaten early childhood education

Funding cuts threaten early childhood education programs in Indiana, impacting thousands of families who rely on state support for their children's development.

MADVoters @madvoters.bsky.social · 8d

Working families are once again left behind by Indiana’s Republican supermajority as funding cuts threaten early childhood education.

Why was this critical funding slashed? To help pay for the GOP’s privatization of education.
