We’re ENRAGED, John. Here's why: AXIOS: Book ban attempts hit beloved Scholastic fairs For 42 years, Scholastic Book Fairs have brought books to kids across the country and promoted the joy of reading. But due to pressure from politicians like Ron DeSantis and groups like Moms for Liberty, Scholastic is putting “diverse” titles – including biographies of Black leaders like Rep. John Lewis – into a separate, optional collection for schools. Banning books, muzzling teachers, blocking kids from reading about Black historical figures – how low can they go?! Michael is the great-great-grandson of Robert Smalls, who made a daring escape from slavery and became a Civil War hero. After the war, Smalls was elected to Congress from the Lowcountry of South Carolina – exactly where Michael is running today. Sending Michael to Congress would make a powerful statement that would reverberate nationwide: We are sick and tired of politicians who erase our history while attacking our freedoms.
