Banned Books - Gator Days
Banned Books - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian. Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned? Dora: Vulgar Language. Panel 2 Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is. Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES! Panel 3 Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter. Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude. Panel 4 Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t". Olivia: Now I have to read it. Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Our leaders have a duty to ensure that every student gets the excellent education that they deserve.

Instead, children with disabilities are suffering under the Trump funding cuts.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Well, survived the first candidate forum. I think it actually went pretty well, especially once I remembered to just talk honestly.

Good night, Anxiety. Good work. Sleep well. You'll most likely kill me in the morning.

There was something inspirational growing up in this era, so much hope through science and cooperation

Which is why is feels so awful becoming an adult when anti-intellectualism and pride in lacking empathy have taken root

Wrong.

The diversity of this country has been its strength from the very beginning. 'Melting pot.'

To quote @cliffcashcomedy.bsky.social, "if you Google us, it's on our Wikipedia page. It's in the top five things."

Fall River is a better place due to our diversity. It needs to be protected.

If I am lucky enough to get elected, I will do everything in my power to make sure that the school staff is equipped with everything they need to help make our schools as safe, supported and as positive of a learning environment as possible.

There is no argument against birthright citizenship other than “I am incredibly racist and don’t like it”

It is clearly and simply spelled out in the 14th amendment - if you are born here, you are an American citizen.

"how to teach everybody that they should care about other people" is a question I think an awful lot about, and I'm afraid it goes beyond my expertise as a college sports business nerd.

But if we can't solve that, we gotta at least be able to say "no thanks, I will not invite the nazi to my bbq"

No child should be scared to go to school, but for many immigrant kids, the fear of being taken away from their parents is a harsh reality. Join us on September 25 for a Zoom to demand a safe and welcoming environment for all students.
