Quote from the article:

""""
Cobb County, with 106,000 students, said Tuesday that 20 libraries had contained “Flamer” by Mike Curato or “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews, or both. “Flamer” is a graphic novel about a boy who is discovering he is gay and how he is treated at summer camp. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” contains some discussion of sex and a lot of profanity, but is mainly about two high school boys who befriend a girl dying of cancer. Both were among the most challenged books of 2022, according to a list published by the American Library Association.
""""

One of the most important jobs of public schools is to teach children how to protect our democracy from religious zealots and fascists and others who use well known strategies to threaten all that is truly good in life, like love and compassion. And that's why these authoritarian types work overtime to dismantle public education.

#SaveOurSchools #PayUp

A morning with my son because of the teacher's strike* so we decided it was time for him to learn the ancient and mysterious game of Pandemic. Haven't played since the actual pandemic started. Still hugely fun and he enjoyed it too.

Plus sneakily teaching him maths and logic.

*Solidarity to everyone striking because of the way this government has systematically run down the public sector. Pay our public sector workers properly!

QT NEUnion: Over 50,000 teachers today calling on @\GillianKeegan to fix the crisis in our schools #SaveOurSchools

The NEU's decision not to recommend rejection of the offer in Wales (11.8% over two years, a big real-terms pay cut) sends the message that the union will settle for far less than our claim for a real-terms increase.

Chicago, they are betting on our children's education. It's a privatizing party. Stand up... fight back!
