This is one of many areas where, despite clear First Amendment principles at stake, the only clear, direct remedy is broad, direct community involvement in support of students’ right to access to reading materials.

Despite this and a multitude of District and Appeals opinions upholding students’ right to receive information in library books, school districts continue to look for ways to limit that right—likely betting the odds of being sued carry less risk than pressure from outside groups.

Justice Brennan, writing for a plurality in the ruling against the board, wrote, “Local school boards may not remove books from school library shelves simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books.”

The case centered on the removal of books from a school library on the basis of the books being "anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Sem[i]tic, and just plain filthy.” The Board represented its position as protecting students from harmful materials.

My grandfather once told me when I was a little boy that singing the Blues is all about a good man or woman feeling sad. This clip reminded me of me & grandpa's convo.

Look at these three legends.

Should I do a thread on the origin of the blues? 🤔

Serious question, fam.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Trump keeps saying he needs to send federal agents in to protect Chicago because the Police aren't doing the job.

You know what makes it hard for our city's brave police officers to do their jobs?

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.
