We have GOOD news JOHN…finally!

In January, the Department of Defense banned books in public schools on U.S. military bases, citing "wokeness." These federally run schools, serving children of active-duty servicemembers, are directly controlled by the president and secretary of defense, who dictate what military families' children can read.

BUT last month, a federal judge ruled enough is enough — ordering the Defense Department to immediately restore all banned books and curricular materials removed since January, and to stop any further removals.

This ruling is a major victory for free expression and honest education. But make no mistake: Trump and his allies will fight back.

We need to make sure we have a strong grassroots coalition to meet them. Will you chip in today to help us defend the freedom to read — in every school, for every child, including those in military families?
