To comply with the Trump administration's executive orders, the Department of Defense is forcing schools on military bases to ban almost 600 books because they address issues related to race and gender.

We're taking them to court to defend students' right to learn.
Here Are the 596 Books Being Banned by Defense Department Schools
The list was released by the order of a federal judge as part of the ACLU's lawsuit against the Department of Defense Education Activity's implementation of President Donald Trump's anti-diversity and...

Wrapped up the week with 1st grade using Bee-Bots to “travel” from planet to planet. They put planet cards on a mat, drew a card to see which planet they needed to get to, then programmed the robot. Great computational thinking practice—and fun, too! #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky
Two students sit around a 5 by 5 grid on yellow paper. There are planet photo cards on some of the grid squares. One student is putting a Bee-Bot robot on the grid. Three students sit around a 5 by 5 grid on purple paper. There are planet photo cards on some of the grid squares. One student is pressing buttons to code a Bee-Bot robot on the grid.

I continue to be confused at the deliberate silence of so many educators about what is being done to children in #Palestine. Apparently the UNCRC and talking about a children's right to education doesn't apply to Palestinian children 🤔 #Palestine #RightToLearn #IsraelisAnApartheidState #EduSky

"ERASED by Kye La'nay takes everything they tried to hide—every burned Black town, every hero they silenced, every truth they buried—and drags it back into the light.
This isn’t a history book.

Trump’s erasing Black history again. That’s why I wrote ERASED: The Brutal, Untold Black History of America.

Cuts in foreign aid have made it harder for Rohingya children in refugee camps to go to school. Every child deserves a chance to learn and build a better future. Donors should help keep education alive and stop a generation from being left behind.

The #FreedomToWrite Index shows that writing as a means of expression increasingly carries the risk of punishment.

Still, writers raise their voices in the best way they know how—whether writing a play, a poem, a book, or a blog post.
