I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.

Our Los Angeles Managing Director Allison Lee testified before the California state senate against a new bill that would require schools and school libraries to ban books that any individual in the community finds harmful to minors.

What a joy to meet a student leader from @NewCollegeofFL who pushed back against the hostile takeover, and helped organize the shadow graduation with @PatOkker! Now she works at @PENamerica. Grateful for her participation in @AAUP’s FL report.
Agree. Students would have to be bots to ignore what adults have given them. Healthcare is hell but warfare is thriving. Climate change, bankruptcy, GoFundMe social services, billionaire economics, neocolonial policies. Only radicalism can change this.
and another thing! college didn't radicalize these kids. adults looking at mass human suffering and looking away, doing nothing: that radicalized them
@amy_stuber_ And violent responses to peaceful student protests will radicalize their patents.
I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.
Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses. These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.
This is why school board elections matter. If you want to run, we want to help. runforwhat.net

Legislators are targeting public libraries, too. Read about Louisiana’s HB 777, which would criminalize librarians and erode the freedom to read: pen.org/destabilizing-… (1/2)
Even more concerning is the fact that DSD removed at least 17 books without explanation. Some of these titles appear to have been removed quietly after someone appealed DSD’s initial decision to retain the book.
Again & again, I've heard from journalists abused online that what gets them through it is support-from family, friends, employers, but most importantly peers who share their background & lived experience. Read our new report w/ @JejeRMohamed & @SusanEMcG: pen.org/report/peer-su…
🧵Journalists should NOT have to face violent threats & hateful slurs alone. PEN America’s new report calls on the journalism industry to invest in spaces where reporters w/ shared backgrounds & experiences can come together to get the support they need: pen.org/report/peer-su…
There is one major difference between professional curation (including thoughtful weeding practices) and permanently removing books to comply with laws: weeded books can be brought back when there is student interest, banned books are not allowed back in the schools.
This is a terrible experience that far too many authors are dealing with right now. Joanna puts the experience in context of the larger mvts against stories. Listen. Please. instagram.com/reel/C49CK1Bvu…
It’s spring break for many in Florida, but the attempts to ban books have not slowed in Florida. Here’s what has posted to district sites so far this week.
No. 1 in teacher vacancies, yet the FLDOE solution to addressing the gross censorship happening in our schools is to (again) revise the Principles of Professional Conduct rule to increase hostility and fear in the workplace. The FLDOE is purposely failing our public schools.

I dislike having my books banned (and mischaracterized by folks who haven't read them), but what I really dislike is when hard-working and deeply committed librarians are fired for no good reason by vindictive, unprofessional culture warriors who care nothing for actual kids.
Why was this Alabama library director fired? I got an answer from the library board director. And then another, and another ... You just have to read it. al.com/news/2024/03/w…
Rep. Carolina Amesty notarized a state document that a teacher says he never signed. The Central Florida Republican insists he did sign it, but 3 handwriting experts say probably not. W/@reporterannie orlandosentinel.com/2024/03/20/car…
Thank you to the Huntington Beach Council members who continue to fight for the right to read. @DanKalmick @nataliemoser @RhondaMBolton This ordinance screams 1st Amendment, 14th Amendment, and Civil Rights violations. Other libraries & trustees are being sued for this reason.
