Libraries are not teachers. They are constellations. And when we look up at the night sky, we learn that the universe is bigger than ourselves.
When we ban books in school, we are shrinking children’s visions of what the universe can be. #sschat #edchat

Jesus said to WELCOME the stranger, not to SEND them back.
Jesus said to FEED the hungry, not to BLAME them for their hunger.
Jesus said to CARE for the sick, not to GET each other sick.
Jesus said to LOVE our neighbors, not to LOVE your nation.
Jesus said.

We read because we are ravenous for what's on the page.
