A propos ***nothing at all***, yesterday I left copies of ON TYRANNY: TWENTY LESSONS FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by Timothy Snyder in three of our local Little Free Libraries.
Reminder: "Read the books they're banning. That's where the good stuff is."

#RyanWalters (in his latest self-aggrandizing missive to all Oklahoman parents & caregivers for #PublicSchool kids): I'm making sure $3million goes to tutoring programs in Oklahoma! My commitment has never been stronger!
also Ryan: *advocates book bans*
also Ryan: *oversees Oklahoma's drop to last in #education since he became State Superintendent*
Ryan, I know logic isn't in your bag of tricks, but MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

The 1971 novel MRS. FRISBY AND THE RATS OF NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien is a #SocialJustice #SocialRevolution #ClimateCrisis #socialist story.
I first read that book 37 years ago, and I just now realized this.

I #amreading REGENESIS (Cyteen, Nr. 4) by CJ Cherryh.
"Huck Finn...that book is the conscience of our nation."

And that's why this member of the #BannedBooks club MUST be part of every American's education.

"Research has found that children as young as 6 months old can perceive race-based differences. Limiting content denies children opportunities to learn about themselves, and to relate to other people...."
This is exactly the goal of right-wing conservatives & fascists. They *want* children not to relate to people who are different from them. Makes it easier to control them when they're adults and easier to scapegoat the Other.
