Who else wants to support John Arthur? 🙋🏼♂️🙋♀️🙋 I’m co-hosting @9thevermore ’s campaign kickoff on May 7th at 6:00 pm.

Just a friendly reminder as four more books, including one from a Nobel Prize winner, are banned statewide in Utah. We do not need to keep kids safe from books. We need books to keep kids safe. #bookbans #censorship #NoKings #libraries #librarians @letutahread@educationcaucus@aclu_utah@penamerica
MORE BOOKS BANNED IN UTAH🚨
On Friday, the state added 4 new titles to its removal list, bringing the total number of books prohibited in public schools to 32.
“There is some hysteria associated with the idea of reading that is all out of proportion to what is in fact happening when one reads.”
~Toni Morrison, whose novel The Bluest Eye was banned this week in all Utah schools.

SB69: BELL-TO-BELL BAN ON STUDENT CELL PHONES 🤔
I think teachers are more divided over SB69 than any other bill this session 😅
So what do you think—should students be able to access their phones during class or the school day??
Districts are empowered to make the final decision, so let your local leaders know how you feel 🙌🏼

HB364: CERTIFIED TEACHER LIBRARIANS❤️
Librarians are pure magic 🪄 This bill would create a Certfied Teacher Librarian position in every district to support and supervise our school librarians and curate collections 🙌🏼
The bill was held in committee and recommended for study during the interim session, and my hope is that next year the Legislature makes this a top priority!
