Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.
Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Hey, friends. I hope you're all doing okay. Or something approximating okay. May your breath be a blessing. May your work be a blessing. May your care for others and may your receiving of care be a blessing as well. I feel blessed just to know you. Hold on to something beautiful for me, will you?

It’s here! I’m excited for everyone to read Pineda and Luisa’s adventure.
When I wrote WFFTS, I never imagined its message of embracing identity and finding community in the face of oppression would be so relevant. I hope this story will give comfort as much as it entertains. bit.ly/3VDmutK #kidlit

The US Dept. of Education’s Office of Civil Rights has dismissed 11 complaints and six allegations related to book bans, saying it was ending "Biden’s book ban hoax."
PEN America counted over 10,000 instances of school book bans in the 2023-24 school year, nearly 3X the number in the previous year.
