Caution: This Tote Bag May Contain Banned Books
The recent campaigns to ban books are just another way to attack our educational system, keeping people fearful and suspicious. Think it can’t happen here? Ask any school librarian and they’ll tell you it does. Extremist school board members are partnering with local mega churches and The American Council, Destiny’s PAC, to undermine teacher autonomy, censor curriculum, ban books, and target LGBTQIA+ students.
Want to show where you stand? Order one of our tote bags and help us support progressive candidates for our local school boards.
