Author Maia Kobabe created a comic about the support she has received from librarians, the importance of their work, and the wave of censorship attempts that made her graphic memoir Gender Queer the most challenged book in the country.

It's not a ban, they said.
It just on another shelf, they said.
But the truth about the ban on @TheAmandaGorman's book—as is often the case with book banners—was something quite different:
An elaborate—& daunting—process for elementary school children simply to access a poem.
Just to be clear: the Miami Dade district that claims @TheAmandaGorman's The Hill We Climb hasn't been banned & is accessible to all students... has also clarified (when you read the fine print) that students must pass a reading test to read it. /1 washingtonpost.com/education…
