One thing I personally haven't seen enough mention of in the conversation around #Freadom and the exponential rise in book #censorship across the country is the disproportionate affect these actions have on kids living in poverty. Kids from more affluent/ middle class families...

I have just placed in my new webpage a handful of images that can be used for-no-comercial purposes. If you want to have them in your classroom, these are for you! https://t.co/DgxAXhBtTD
@yuyimorales Your presentation was amazing! May I please share a slide or 2 with my students? We are going to start a project integrating symbols that represent us. These are so perfect! We will read “Soñadores” later. Thanks!
