Ben Cohen is an old white guy worth $150M. He has no need to risk his comfort & get arrested for protesting a genocide all the way in Gaza. But Ben has values lacking in most people of his wealth & privilege—empathy, humanity, & justice. Ben Cohen is what a true leader looks like. God bless him.

The number of kids who read for fun at ages 6-8 decreases by *24 PERCENT* by the time those kids are 12-17. 😬 Lots of factors are at play, some of them systemic. But we ARE in control of one big factor: Which books we encourage (or even force) kids to read... 🧵 (1/14) #BookSky #books #kidlit
Chart from the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report, 8th Edition, titled "How Much Do You Enjoy Reading Books for Fun?" At ages 6-8, 70% of kids love or like reading for fun. At ages 9-11, 61% read for fun. And at ages 12-17, 46% read for fun.
