I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again. Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine. They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating. Authors, join the fight: @authorsabb.bsky.social!!

#OTD April 14, 1775, secret instructions arrive in Boston from London for Gen. Gage. Lord Dartmouth considers Massachusetts "in open rebellion," and "in such a situation force should be repelled with force." Gage has a green light for his action vs Concord (Dartmouth by Hone, courtesy Hood Museum).

April 28th is National Superhero Day. How is your district celebrating? Educators need our support now more than ever. Send an email or card to your child’s teacher. Have your child do the same. Send a message to a principal or school board member about an amazing educator. It takes but a moment.
