I am an elementary school librarian. I haven’t gotten COVID - and I test for any slight symptom whatsoever, so I don’t think it’s just that I had it and didn’t know. The only possible reason I’ve worked with 600 kids and not gotten COVID is my mask.

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?
