@GottaLaff How pathetically sad that parents seek to impede their children’s education….. why rob your children like that, I do not understand….

@morganalafee @GottaLaff MAGA voters want their own children "protected" from realities like extraordinary young poets like Amanda Gorman AND prevent YOUR children from learning about her too.Fine if they want to pretend reality isn't real for themselves, but they do not have the right to impose their ideology on others.

2/ “So they ban my book from young readers, confuse me with @Oprah , fail to specify what parts of my poetry they object to, refuse to read any reviews, and offer no alternatives…Unnecessary #bookbans like these are on the rise, and we must fight back” 👊🏿 DONATE here: https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=283691527416160&source_name=SHARE_LINK

@Npars01 @morganalafee @GottaLaff actually, it's not fine. As a citizen, I need other citizens to have a baseline of knowledge about things. It's how we coexist. It's not a high bar, but saying things like "you can't learn about racism or civil rights or LGBTQ people" doesn't clear it.I have to interact with these children and they will eventually be running things while I'm still alive. I'm ok with parent input as to how and when but not a veto.
