    School districts overreacting to fear of parent feedback are adding to the chilling environment. Academic institutions need to apply more rigor to their decisions in these concerning times. Do not silence voices your students deserve to hear!

    A Texas school district let me know they can’t invite me to speak to their students for fear of backlash from conservative parents. Not because of my books, but because I live in a liberal city and the parents would disagree with my political views.

    This entire thread 🧵 I’ve read FINDING JUNIE KIM & have recommended it - it’s an amazing book! Fear is not a reason to ban a book | Books allow readers to understand the lives of others & have empathy via characters like Junie Kim so they can do better

    So FINDING JUNIE KIM has been challenged by a school board member who doesn't approve of it because it has "too much racism" in it, and yes this feels personal. Because the racism in the book are all based on incidents that my own children suffered.

    Hunterdon NJ: This 👇 means u. Extremists show up @ BOE meetings to attack books, librarians & BOE members. In the process, they traumatize marginalized students & teach bullies new tricks & taunts. If you’re not there to defend freedom, you’re part of the problem.

    The irony is rich. Vonnegut's book was at the center of Pico V. Island Trees, where the Supreme Court ruled that removing books from libraries because of the ideas within them denied student first amendment rights. .

    I guess it was only a matter of time the book banners came for Vonnegut. Attn:
