The lawsuit stems from allegations that Black land-grant universities like Alabama A&M have been historically underfunded with long-term consequences for the institutions and their students.

She also really debunks the common justifications about religion, region, and age. Your grandparents and parents have shitty values because they have shitty values, not because of anything else. They could do better. Anyone can use their eyes to see the world and have the correct read.

Angry at those who keep pretending it’s all just about “economic anxiety” and “polarization.” Angry at the fact that we are constantly asked to come up with exculpatory tales, to please not call those pursuing a political project of re-segregation racists - so mean! - or segregationists.

Angry about a mainstream discourse that has somehow declared it uncouth, or not “sophisticated” enough, or too “divisive” to acknowledge that racism, patriarchal domination, and Christian supremacism are the animating forces in today’s Republican Party.

There is way more motivation for them to constantly scan for evidence black people are overreacting than motivation to be aggressive about racism and other types of oppression. Thats the only reason this "anti-woke" thing got legs in the first place.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all. Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy. This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.
In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.
