BREAKING: Book banning extremist group “Moms For Liberty” LOST ALL 31 of their races.
Moms for Liberty is now 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023.
This is what happens when communities have had enough and say NO to book bans!

SB13 adds three layers to the book purchasing process, slowing down arrival of books for months. Students deserve access to academic materials they need. @lupodmore.bsky.social explains why.

The state of Texas shouldn't be making it harder for students to get the books they need in their school libraries. Thank you San Antonio Express! www.expressnews.com/news/educati...

If only someone had told lawmakers that Senate Bill 13 would dramatically slow down library purchases, making it incredibly difficult for librarians to get books into students’ hands. Oh. Wait. @freadomfighters.bsky.social did.

The power of local parents speaking up. ⬇️ Don't know what to do? Ask us or @txfreedomread.bsky.social for help!
In case you missed this: In New Braunfels ISD last week, parents, students, teachers, and community members came together to speak up against the book banners who got the district’s high school & middle school libraries closed. And they forced to board to reverse its decision.
