A HS student to their TX school board, which is banning books:

“I’m not going to sit here and talk about the slippery slope that book banning leads to because I learned from a book, that I checked out from my school’s library, that I don’t need to resort to logical fallacy to make a point. I’m simply going to say that no government – and public school is an extension of government – has ever banned books, and banned information from its public, and been remembered in history as the good guys.”

@bodhipaksa What a profound statement from a high school student. May we have more of this wisdom from our young people come forth.
@EveyJo @bodhipaksa I have a 17 year old and a 21 year old. I think we assume that, as older folks that we're wiser, but I am continuously reminded that my kids are sometimes wiser than I am.
@catpower @EveyJo My 15-year-old daughter constantly astonishes me!
@bodhipaksa @catpower @EveyJo Precisely what CONServative governMENt is threatened by & why they’re working feverishly to end/reverse it. The more ignorant, the easier they are to manipulate & control. #GOPThreatToDemocracy #GOPfascists
