    When we ban books in schools before we ban guns, we admit we are more afraid of our children learning than we are of them dying.pic.twitter.com/sXASHkZk50

        If #empathy is guessing feelings & unmet-needs, I'm guessing the folks banning books (& conversation), feel hurt/scared (& miss getting SIGNIFICANCE the way they used to) ...heads-up though, where I needed an open library, today's kids need two thumbs and two minutes on @Google pic.twitter.com/E5sG0DJ7xI
