There are very few female voices and even fewer BIPOC authors. There are also quite a few “classics”, which we love but also eliminates the acknowledgement of texts that reflect society today and what our kids are going to need in a 21st century world. Reach out to your SBOE representative and let them know that Texas doesn’t need a mandated reading list to get kids reading! #schoollibrary #library #books #texas #freedomtoread https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT-p4sLkcuG/?igsh=MWV1c21hY29xNnZobg==
