I wrote a book about a boy in Charleston who defeats a Confederate demon. If you need a bit of hope, pick it up! It has a great audiobook too! www.unionsquareandco.com/978145494930...

Last night I hosted my schools first family literacy night. It was a bright spot in what’s been a dark year. I was honored to have a local author Latrice McGlothin join us too with her book Hello Coco! I’m grateful to all the authors who donated signed books and swag. So many kids went home happy!

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

What can you do about book banning? How can you support essential public institutions of democracy like public libraries and public schools? Want to understand why "school choice" is an outright lie? I've got OVER FOUR YEARS of those answers and more in this pinned thread.

Jax and I really liked this book! I felt like I was reading about him when it started with a kid being bored by everything until they discovered the curious why. My buddy is also extremely curious about all topics & I love seeing that side of him. You’re only bored if you choose to be!

Incredibly needed into today’s world - although it’s written with young adults in mind, it’s truly something everyone who cares about learning the truth needs to read and digest. I’m excited to learn how to make sure I’m not taken into propaganda and only read and share what is actually happening.

In order to read, we need freedom. The freedom to choose. The freedom to include. The freedom to like because reading is our right. A book that’s very much for you might not be the book for me. And that’s okay. Because I don’t have to like it but no one should take away your right to it.

Rhode Island Authors Against Book Bans @aabbri.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Authors Against Book Bans responds to the DOE statement supporting book banning in American public schools

The Authors Against Book Bans statement about the DOE rollback on Book Bans is on our Instagram account now, and will be disseminated to media outlets tomorrow.

AUTHORS AGAINST BOOK BANS
RESPONSE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION’S STATEMENT SUPPORTING BOOK BANS IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS

Today, the Department of Education announced plans to dismiss eleven outstanding complaints against book bans, and to eliminate the position of Book Ban Coordinator at the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). This distortion of the intended work of the OCR–the protection of civil rights and students’ freedoms in our nation's schools–is negligent, grossly un-American, and in direct conflict with freedom of speech, a bedrock right enshrined in the Constitution.

Authors Against Book Bans unequivocally stands against all such attempts at censorship and discrimination. We stand with families, students and educators across the country who exercise free speech every time they open a book, and with the 71% of Americans who are opposed to book bans. Book bans do not protect children; history teaches us that they are a terrifying step toward tyranny.

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!
