I Am JazzScrappyMags I don‘t but ya know the quickest way to get kids to read?? Ban the books. Colleagues and admins were always vetoing my suggestions. I casually told my students in class. I‘d guess about 80% of the class read the book. Lol!! I wound up with about 50 high schoolers staying after school to discuss the book! Sorry. Not sorry. #readdiverse 6y

Chrissyreadit Anyone who is truly in education will fight book banning of any kind. I think publishers are recognizing that diversity is the way to go. Our children deserve to have good writers and good stories that support becoming great adults. 6y
ScrappyMags @queerbookreader awww thanks!! There are many English teachers in the rebellion. I teach in North Carolina so it‘s a very quiet rebellion. 🤫 For now. 🤭🤭 6y
Chrissyreadit @ScrappyMags I completely agree! 6y
ScrappyMags @Chrissyreadit FYI believe me we fight the banning and advocate for the Books. You learn to pick your battles. We don‘t have unions here in NC. The loudest protesters somehow lose their jobs. I choose to motivate and empower my students to think for themselves and engage in critical thinking and that happens by stepping into uncomfortable books. Because i build relationships with my students and genuinely CARE, they read. They actually read! 💗💗 6y
Dorianna Here‘s another list: http://www.welcomingschools.org/pages/looking-at-gender-identity-with-childrens-... 6y
MicheleinPhilly These “boycotts” always make me 🙄 because first of all, Scholastic isn‘t going to change anything and as @ScrappyMags said, the quickest way to ensure kids want to read something is to tell them they can‘t. 6y
AmyG I shall never understand this nonsense. All these people SHOULD read George. It should be required. 6y
PerksOfBeingABookworm Good god. I'm so happy to see more publishing companies selling books that represent the lives experiences of so many marginalized groups. Representation matters! I haven't read it yet, but it's on my list to buy:They She He Me: Free to Be! 6y

Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak OutChrissyreadit @ScrappyMags I never thought you support book banning- I just know that telling a teen they can‘t read something or do something will often encourage them to do the opposite. 6y
