If you believe that:
1) Reading is critical to democracy.
2) Books help us understand complex issues.
3) Parents shouldn't make decisions for other parents' children.
4) Youth deserve to see themselves in books.

When I walk in a school, I don’t just observe to see if front office or teachers are happy. I observe custodians, cafeteria workers, everyone. Because building positive school culture means everyone is valued & appreciated. And if the custodians are happy, everyone is happy.

It’s my birthday. I’m 37 and I have some things I’d like to share, in no particular order.

This is a betrayal of the very values we should be imparting to our youngest Americans: how to be curious, to inquire and to reach beyond our boundaries. Thank you, @theamandagorman for speaking up. And gratitude to @PENamerica & @FLFreedomRead for holding the line. #EndBookBans
