We are calling on @MikeMinogueMA to denounce and publicly apologize for funding PragerU’s hateful and harmful materials, return your family's donations, and make clear that you don’t support bringing PragerU materials into Massachusetts public schools.

Huge thank you to our legislative allies for sending An Act Regarding Free Expression to the Governor's desk! At a time when our stories are being targeted by censorship, Massachusetts is taking a stand to safeguard intellectual freedom & ensure everyone can see themselves reflected on our shelves.

If only Congressman Moulton brought this same energy back in 2024 when he said "I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that" perhaps we wouldn't be here
