Opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education argue that dismantling DEI offices and initiatives on campus won’t negatively impact the academic freedom of faculty. So how do they explain what Gov. @GlennYoungkin just did in Virginia? richmond.com/zzstyling/view…
The opening spread of “Educational Gag Orders,” illustrated by Matt Chase, and written by @PENamerica’s Jeremy Young and Jonathan Friedman, received a 2024 merit award from @SPDtweets. Check it out in the spring 2023 issue of #LibEdMag! #SPD59 ow.ly/pZ2X50RibT8
Iowa's SF 496 prevents "students from reading literature that grows alongside them, failing to recognize that as readers mature, they need access to books with more mature and complex ideas." pen.org/press-release/… #AmicusCuriae @PENamerica Thanks to co-author @EllyBrinkley!

Important coverage from @The19thNews ft our recent report on book bans. Our team points to research that shows students who learn about rape and rape culture help prevent it. Allowing students to read and learn about sexual violence doesn’t cause more violence.
A new trend is emerging in book banning: School officials are pulling works about sexual violence from library shelves, often by labeling them “obscene.” @NadraKareem covers the latest censorship target + what it could mean for survivors. 19thnews.org/2024/04/books-…

I greatly enjoyed this conversation with @lisa_grunwald, author of The Theory of Everything, about her new book, The Evolution of Annabel Craig, set during the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial. It's a great book and if you're a Scopes Trial junkie, like I am, you should read it.
Author @lisa_grunwald was forced to grapple with her own assumptions in exploring the 1925 Scopes trial from "the other side" for her new novel, "The Evolution of Annabel Craig" (@penguinrandom). @jeremycyoung interviews her for this week's PEN Ten. pen.org/lisa-grunwald-…

New @PENamerica report fills an important gap in knowledge about the existing structures of peer support networks inside and outside the news industry and journalists’ general views and needs for peer support. #journalism journalistsresource.org/home/peer-supp…
The keyword in this new report is "more." TWICE the number of books have been banned in half of the current school year than the entire school year previous.
PEN's new report shows that book bans continue to rise and continue to target books by or about queer people and people of color. bit.ly/3U2Nb9n
I've been saying. @veronikellymars been really saying. @FLFreedomRead and @TXFreedomRead and @EveryLibrary been saying and showing. Now get yourself to a school board meeting and speak for the literature kids need and are librarian (professional) curated.
A new #BannedInTheUSA report from PEN America highlights school book bans from the fall 2023 semester. Between July and December 2023, we recorded over 4,000 book bans—more than the entirety of last school year. More: pen.org/press-release/… #BannedBooks #FreeTheBooks

New College Trustees' denial of tenure for Hugo Viera-Vargas is a blot on the name of academic freedom. For trustees to deny tenure to a professor, absent severe malfeasance, is shocking. When the professor is also suing the governor, that’s a scandal. heraldtribune.com/story/news/edu…
