I was going to look into fundraising for my area cause I saw that on her website. I live in a rural area of Canada, and it didn't deliver here. So it's sad to find out about this
I don't see how surprised she is. Knowing how easy Indiana was for Trump.
You mean the people who voted for Trump want to get rid of Free books for kids?
Why aren't those children Boot strapping their way to get their own books?
Sadly, that is disgustingly aligned with a recent post from the White House that specifically listed autistic people, along with those with ADHD, and a range of other chronic illnesses, disorders, conditions, or just differences, as being a “threat to the American way of life”.
The statement about that in the link below is immediately followed by a comment to the effect that this means that many Americans don’t qualify for military service because of these disorders or diseases.
This is a prime example of malinformation - mixed accuracy info shared with malicious deceit.
It's not just ABA. I work in this field, and autistic kids with Medicaid that need occupational,.speech, and other services are starting to be denied at higher rates. It's going to be ALL kids on medicaid INCLUDING foster kids. This state is so corrupt; I'd leave but my kids can't. So I won't.

As well she should. I can’t imagine the depth of cruel and stupid republicans have achieved. No bloody wonder the red states are welfare queens living of tax transfers from more woke blue states
Movie trailer voiceover voice: "In a world where fascists are determined to keep the children poor and illiterate, two women authors rise up to fight back. Dolly Parton and Julianne Moore are THE READER SISTERS and they mean business."
The Republican Party acts similarly to a cult. They want their members uneducated and uninformed. They create a bunch of false threats they’re going to “protect them from” to create dependency. And then isolate them by calling everyone else the “enemy”.

They want to be a manufacturing center. Wages are low and non union. The Indiana wage to rent disparity is high. Lilly is a major employer for over 100 years. They are moving their scientific people to NC and Germany because those employees won’t live in Indiana under social repression.
What the HELL is wrong with this woman!? If we educate kids they’ll grow up to be smarter adults, and that’s the last thing we need.
I mean, who’s gonna vote republican if that happens, right?
The fascists want to control every bit of info--or disinfo--going into the minds of children. Don't want them getting ideas, like thinking that freedom is a good thing.
Just made a private donation. This is what it has come to. Our leaders won't lift their own people up, so we need to lean on each other. Unfortunately, it's only going to get worse.
IN resident here! He's a complete tool. He certainly doesn't care about people south of Indianapolis. I wouldn't know who is our representative of my own state was if I didn't look it up. The government doesn't care about the people, let alone those outside Indy
I prefer the to be called "escaped hoosier" or "hoosier refugee". Better yet, just call me a New Mexican. Also worth noting that in 49 states, the term "hoosier" is synonymous with "trashy".
No shit, when I moved to St. Louis (which isn't that much better.) people would regularly use phrases like "that's so hooze" or "you're such a hoosier" as insults for people who were acting trashy.

And she started with nothing, rather than inheriting vast amounts from his family, so it is not surprising how wonderfully grounded she is. A gorgeous, amazing woman.
Stupid governor, this is a great service that Dolly Parton started and supports.
What she should do is tell the governor to shove it where the sun don't shine and with all the celebrities and other wealthy people she knows they can help her to continue the free library without a problem.

I have been but doubt it will work. Where I live in Indiana, they voted a man into office that is on trial for sexually assaulting his own daughter. All politicians here know that if you are Red, you are golden. They don't even show up to debates.

My grandson got her books while he was eligible & we have bought many of them 2nd hand. Her books are wonderful & teach love for all by opening kids up to concepts they may not encounter in their daily life.
Sad that the MAGA/GOP feels the need to end anything that might teach their kids to love all

I mean, they don’t provide text books to grammar school kids (parents have to rent or purchase them). Clearly they’re a community that dislikes reading, learning, and Dolly. What a terrible place to live.

The world would be a much better place if women ran it. Even at the municipal level where I live, men spend more time on narcissistic endeavors than helping the community. Ran by women it would have tons of community services and be on budget with no in-fighting.
Conservative, Republican rank and file voters are typically ignorant, stupid people who are anti-intellectual and one supposes quite often illiterate. If there's one thing they hate, it's the idea of other people reading books, gaining knowledge, thinking critically, have access to ideas, that sort.
Republicans take Libery. The rarely give it. How is it that people don't see that their freedoms are diminished under Republican Governance and Values.
She is such a great human how anyone could go after something as harmless and important as books is pretty pathetic.
Education is already declining it seems so to have access to books gives people a chance to broaden their knowledge apparently that’s a threat. Wouldn’t want people smart eh? Scared?

I’m sure there are some nice people in IN but in all my visits to that state I can say with confidence that most of them are uneducated and racist AF. Homophobia reigns supreme as well. You could not pay me to live there.
Grew up in NWI, but have lived the last 30+ years in Buffalo..I still have family there and they are split.. half are reasonable and accepting, half are rethuglicans whom I no longer speak to. Though I loved growing up there, I'll never move back as I have no desire to be a blue dot in a red state.
My BIL grew up in Buffalo. He said had he not joined the Army he would have turned out a racist like his father, an Irish immigrant. He went to West Point and then served with a full range of soldiers from various ethnic backgrounds. He's a liberal to this day. HIs brother is MAGA, lives in SC.
I live in Indiana. But I was born, raised and EDUCATED in Michigan. I consider myself very lucky. I do what I can here but there is a lot of eye rolling on my side!
I live in KY (northern) and two exits from IN border, and even though KY has its share of uneducated people too, IN is one of those states I don't care to live in at all. At least we have Andy Beshear, which is keeping me in my state for right now. My other choice is OH.
I hope I count as one of the nice ones (IN resident). Not all Hoosiers are bad, but based on voters party affiliation it’s about a 60/40 split state-wide. Metro areas are better but outweighed by the rural hicks. It’s disheartening getting out- voted by my ignorant neighbors every election.
I’m also not sure if the democrats are really outnumbered as bad as the polls show. I think a lot of democrats in the rural areas don’t bother voting because they see republicans constantly dominate and think their vote is futile. I think there’s also a lot of peer pressure to be ‘conservative’.
You know, they tend to call the vote before the polls are closed. As soon as they scent a possible victory, our state has all of the votes tallied.
Let's not forget the time boxes of mail in ballots got set on fire.
I am a blue dot in the reddest of red. I personally know people who didn't vote because of the "attention" from the MAGA men in jacked up Bubba Redneck trucks parked just outside the legal distance from the doors of voting locations to "poll watch." It had 0 to do with the R's dominating anything.
I’m a 64 year old gay man, I was born and grew up in Indiana. Left when I was 19 and feel fortunate that I was able to. With all that’s going on now, even though we aren’t immune to it, I’m thankful that I live in Los Angeles.
I'm so happy for you. I was born and raised just south of San Francisco but I married someone born and raised in IN so I have been many times. It's appalling. The ignorance, the racism & bigotry, the gullibility. I divorced his racist family a decade before I finally divorced him.
I also was born/raised south of SF, moved east to 5 states including IN. There are bigots everywhere (see SoCal, Central Valley). Look for allies, they are everywhere too.
I went from Michigan City, IN toTampa,FL and then to Houston,TX. Tampa and Houston weren’t much better but I finally got smart and settled in West Hollywood.😊
I still have family in Indiana but after my mom died I knew I’d never go back. My brothers say they love me but you know who they voted for.
SF Bay Area native here. I have only passed through Indiana driving to and from PA and from what I saw, it's a veritable smelly (northern) armpit of the country. You couldn't pay me to live there either.
Right? I think it starts w/education. I grew up in CA and our textbooks were different than most other states, who got the TX versions (cuz textbook publishing is in TX) and those were whitewashed. Not saying CA's were perfect, but certainly better. Schools were ethnically diverse in CA, not in IN.

Dolly is the only entity in this universe that can hold the lefties and the cons for a brief period of harmony. Nobody messes with Dolly and gets away with it.
It’s absolutely ridiculous that he wants to ban books for kids or anyone for that matter! Who do they think they are deciding what books anyone can or cannot read?

Just some ways they manipulate the vote:
• gerrymandering
• voter ID laws
• inadequate poll hours
• “exact match” policies
• intimidation
• lack of access to polls
• overzealous roll purges
• no early/mail options
FR, what’s the issue with giving out WATER to ppl waiting to vote?!?
People should watch for:
• sampling bias
• question wording
• selection bias
• poll timing
• small sample size
• mode of polling
• nonresponse bias
Or, better yet, ignore polls & participate anyway!
