If you believe that:
1) Reading is critical to democracy.
2) Books help us understand complex issues.

It’s amazing that she keeps pivoting to “we just want kids to be able to read” but ONLY M4L vetted material. Kids need to learn to be critical thinkers, and than means reading text from different perspectives.

This is good.
We now wait for @Applebees corporate to make a public statement, apologizing to their black, brown, non-white, non-Christian, non straight, allies, employees and patrons for this error in judgement. Many thanks to all our followers for helping amplify this issue.
