Just read @kylelukoff.bsky.social’s essay in “Banned Together” aloud to my teen. It’s excellent. Powerful plain language explanation of how banning books and banning the people in the books are inseparable, of how “small” issues of discrimination become enormous. #BookSky #BannedBooks #FreedomToRead
