Book Bans are un-American. We need to protect our Libraries from politically motivated attacks. See what Librarians are up against here: publishersweekly.com/pw/by-t… #TBATs @FLBATsA @browardbats @AlabamaBATs @KentuckyBATs @MemphisbatBa @MississippiBAT @WVBats

Hate Won't Win
Civics scores have dropped. Maybe it's because kids aren't getting a full picture of our history anymore.

It's no surprise that schools that have the fewest resources have the lowest scores. Instead of punishing them, we should be providing them with better resources. #TBATs #LessTestingMoreTeaching @AlabamaBATs @KentuckyBATs @MemphisbatBa @FLBATsA @MississippiBAT
"When children learn to care for each other with tolerance & understanding, they will grow to respect one another as adults." #TBATS @MemphisbatBa @KentuckyBATs @MississippiBAT @FLBATsA @AlabamaBATs @MissouriBATs @NoCarolinaBATs Charters, Vouchers & Cyber Schools divide us!

Vouchers & Charters lose as many as 66% of their students during the school year, yet they keep all the money! The school that takes them in gets nothing. Unfair! #TBATs
