This fall, @PENamerica recorded more bans in one semester than ALL of 2022, affecting 23 states, 52 districts, and millions of students. Now, let’s turn the tide and finish the school year right. Join the movement to protect our kids' freedom to learn: webelieveineducation.org/take-action/
Even without being elected to a #SchoolBoard, your input matters. 💡 From curriculum to resources, school boards make decisions directly impacting our kids’ #FreedomToLearn. Find out who’s on your school board and what’s going on near you: schoolboardspotlight.org/find/

Happy #NationalLibrarianDay! We’re giving a special shout-out to the heroes behind the library shelves. 🦸📚 Visit our “Action Guide” with abundant resources to help you show support and take action for libraries and librarians today and always. webelieveineducation.org/nlw-action/
Have you visited the library yet this #NationalLibraryWeek? Do you have a library card? 👀 Libraries offer resources and services for everyone, no matter your age or interests. Find nearby libraries at this link from @USAGov: usa.gov/libraries
As the freedom to read and learn continues to come under attack, we must join together to reaffirm our support for libraries, public education, and the value they provide our kids. 🏫🗣️ What do libraries mean to you? ⬇️ #NationalLibraryWeek #WeBelieveInLibraries
This #NationalLibraryWeek, we partnered with @PENamerica and @EveryLibrary to create a Library Love Letter — now, let’s get it to the right people! In the comments, TAG those local libraries & librarians you love so much. 🏫🤗📤 webelieveineducation.org/nlw-love-lette…
In honor of the March Madness Championship tonight... We have two contenders, both equally insane, battling it out for the title of the most maddening threat to our children’s freedom to learn. Your vote can’t fix the madness, but it can spotlight the absurdity. Choose wisely!
This #NationalLibraryWeek, join us in a heartfelt celebration of libraries as invaluable spaces for community-building and honest, inclusive education. Our love letter to libraries is ready, but we need YOUR signature to make it complete! 💌 nlwloveletter.org
In 2024 so far, 27 states have proposed nearly 100 bills to restrict libraries, and we won’t tolerate it! Explore EveryLibrary’s tracking pages for pro- and anti-library bills in your state to stay informed and take a stand for the freedom to learn: everylibrary.org/positivebills
Did you know that April is #SchoolLibraryMonth? Join us in honoring these spaces, their staff, and access to resources that ignite curiosity and nurture young minds. 🌟 🗓 And mark your calendars for #NationalLibraryWeek, April 7-13! Stay tuned for ways to participate.
Library books and services are vital to our communities, and this piece of legislation proves it. After extremists in WA sought to close the only library in Columbia County last year, the new law will make such attempts more difficult in the future. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
Today we honor César Chávez, American labor leader, civil rights activist, and champion of education who believed in unlocking every student’s potential. Let's honor his legacy by promoting real and inclusive education for all. Join our movement: webelieveineducation.org/take-action/
Against all odds, we have a March Madness “winner.” 🤦🏻 While the result is bleak, our commitment to the freedom to learn isn’t. Join us in turning this craziness into a force for change! Let’s fight for inclusive education that truly benefits our kids. webelieveineducation.org
Spring starts today! 🌷✨ Grab your kids, enjoy the blooming flowers, and dive into these classic challenged books that bring a fresh perspective on life. 📚🌼 #BooksNotBans #BookRecs #Spring #SpringtimeReads #FreedomToLearn
Two contenders, both equally insane, are battling it out for the title of the most maddening threat to our children’s freedom to learn. Your vote can’t fix the madness, but it sure can spotlight it. Choose wisely in the comments! cnn.com/2023/07/20/us/… nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-po…
From 2021 to 2022, attempts to ban books nearly DOUBLED. 🤯 Book bans should NOT be on the rise, and the radical agendas of few should NOT dictate what resources our children have access to in schools. Join the movement of parents fighting back at webelieveineducation.org
🚨Our kids’ education is under attack! 🚨 Extremist politicians are pushing harmful bills that prioritize politics over the well-being and future of students. Are you following the key bills in this legislative session? #WeBelieveInEducation

YES❣️I have been asking the Governor and any elected representatives to make Michigan a State that Bans the Banning of Books❤️

Why we celebrate #Pride: 🌈 LGBTQ+ students deserve a school environment free from bullying 🌈 No one should be afraid to say they are gay 🌈 Advocating for inclusive schools and libraries will create safer environments for ALL students, teachers, and families
They're the same picture.
The freedom to think, to learn, to form your own opinions. We can't let them take that from our kids.
@webelieveinedu Who is banning books about Rosa Parks and Hank Aaron? This is unacceptable…if indeed true.
@webelieveinedu My transgender 7 year old thanks you!
Why are book bans dangerous? 1⃣ They keep kids from learning about our history. 2⃣ They seek to erase certain identities from classrooms & libraries. 3⃣ Book bans are just a way for extremists to hoard more power for themselves. And that's just for starters. #LetAmericaRead
Priorities!
The WaPo calls us “liberal.” I just call us mainstream moms who want safety and success for all kids and don’t harass anyone while pretending we’re for “liberty.” 🤷♀️ wapo.st/43WHtch
This is what extremist groups do- they pit our teachers against our kids. That's not cool with us. We want our teachers to have all the resources they need to give our kids an honest & accurate education & safe and welcome learning environments. Why is that so controversial?
NEW: I wrote about school counselors in North Carolina who are debating whether to follow — or defy — a new district policy requiring them to out trans students to their parents: chalkbeat.org/2023/6/13/2375… co-published by @Chalkbeat & @USATODAY /🧵
@webelieveinedu Good! Growing up queer is really hard, I’m glad you guys are helping kids be themselves. The folks that hate this don’t actually care about the well being of children
The @splcenter has designated Moms for Liberty as a “anti-government extremist group"--just like the Oath Keepers. Voting for M4L endorsed candidates is voting for extremism. usatoday.com/story/news/inv…
Everybody should read Elie Wiesel's "Night" — one of the most compelling accounts of the atrocities that occurred during the Holocaust. Banning this book is downright dangerous and wrong.
@TAnthonyPotter @webelieveinedu Those books are not found in the children’s part of the library. The books with discussions of questionable topics like masturbation, are either available by request, or only in age levels where young kids don’t see them.
@TAnthonyPotter @webelieveinedu Have you been in a school library? Have you been in a public library? Your question/allegation is false. Not found in grade school libraries. Not found in the childrens' section of a public library. Parents should assist their young children w/ appropriate reading anyway.
