John,
Authoritarians fear classrooms because education builds power. That’s why we’re seeing a wave of book bans and restrictions aimed at what students can read and what teachers can teach.
Last school year alone, PEN America documented thousands of bans across dozens of states—a nationwide pattern, not an isolated problem.
This isn’t about protecting kids—it’s about controlling what the next generation knows and who gets to decide history. But I am fighting back every single day and I will not stop until every child gets the education they deserve.
Can you chip in $10 to fight for our kids?
