Attacks like this are the tip of the spear. We need parents, teachers, students, and community members to stand up together and defend the freedom to read.

The pro-censorship faction on the Charleston County School Board is targeting an inclusive literacy curriculum for elimination, and we need help fighting back TONIGHT. 🧵

"The Burning of the Books" by Bertolt Brecht poetryfoundation.org/poetrym…
The Burning of the Books When the Regime ordered that books with dangerous teachings Should be publicly burnt and everywhere Oxen were forced to draw carts full of books To the funeral pyre, an exiled poet, One of the best, discovered with fury, when he studied the list Of the burned, that his books Had been forgotten.  He rushed to his writing table On wings of anger and wrote a letter to those in power, Burn me, he wrote with hurrying pen, burn me! Do not treat me in this fashion.  Don't leave me out.  Have I not Always spoken the truth in my books? And now You treat me like a liar! I order you: Burn me! (translated by H. R. Hays)
