There’s more evidence that Trump was involved in child trafficking than there is that the men on the boats he bombed at sea were drug traffickers.

“History shows that those who seek to erase, distort, or control a people’s story often target libraries, archives, teachers, records, and public forums first.” We’re living that history now. But you can be the librarian of your own life. Record, document, annotate & preserve what’s happening.

Shame on this administration. Their latest attempt to dismantle the Dept of Education—during American Education Week—is illegal and immoral. Not only do they want to starve and steal from our students—they want to rob them of their futures. Anyone who claims to care about children should be livid.

AI is now being used to “flag” school library books. The new CLCD tool, Class-Shelf Plus v3, may speed up censorship under the guise of efficiency. This development should alarm every librarian and educator.
